Is there anyway to stretch my iBook G3's desktop over two monitors (the LCD on the ibook and my regular CRT)? I've got the cable that comes with the iBook that hooks up to a regular monitor, but when I plug it in, I just get the same view as I have on my iBook.

Thanks!

Indeed, you can enable spanning on some iBooks!

First check to see if your iBook's video card can handle spanning (some do, some don't) on this page. If it's supported, download Screen Spanning Doctor, on the top of that page.
