My Mac just keeps on working. I'm a one-eyed Mac user, and have been since the 80s (although I do admit to owning 1 PC). When I upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3, my second screen declined to work properly (due to video card driver problems). Since then, it's been unfixable :-(. I expect this sort of behavior from my PC, but was disappointed when it happened on a Mac for the first time. Oh, well... By the way, the second screen still runs happily on the rare occasions when I boot into OS9. Cheers, Andrew
