Is there any device or hack that allows for two external monitors to be used with a MacBook 13"?
Thanks!

There's a handful of USB options that you can use for a second monitor in addition to the regular video out:

There's also one option that actually splits a single DVI signal for use on two monitors, but that's kind of lame, since it also splits the Dock and the menu bar over both monitors.

If you have a second computer around and are only doing basic dualing tasks, synergykvm is a pretty neat app.

How are KVMs relevant?
He's looking to attach several monitors to a single computer, not several computers to a single monitor.

SynergyKVM allows a computer's mouse/keyboard to control another systems.. kind of like having a master/slave setup (siamese twins vs a two headed man).
So with one point of control & the capability to drag windows/files, the workflow is very similar to dual monitors.
I use Teleport ( http://abyssoft.com/software/teleport/) between my two systems.
edit:
Here's the website, I forgot that it's multiplatform.. cool

How well does teleport work? I think I'm gonna use that! Does it get screwy if you're switching between having two monitors and one with your laptop?
