Ok I just hooked an extra CRT monitor I have to my powerbook. Wha I want to know is how can I drag programs or what ever to one screen ? So say I could have iTunes on one screen and photoshop on another ? Thanks.

I don't have a second display connected right now. But go to System Preferences under the Display tab and click Detect Displays. The CRT should power on and show a blue screen, or something. You can then go to the Arrangement tab and choose how the screens are arranged.

After this, you can move windows over to the other screen, just click and drag .

Just make sure you have "mirroring" turned off and "monitor spanning" turned on.
