I just brought home a new 20" cinema tonight. WOW! I love it, but how do I make it my Powerbook's main display? I want the dock, etc. all on the cinema and have my Powerbook's screen be secondary. I sure hope this can be done. Thank you.

System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement

Then just click on the white bar, and drag it from one screen to the next

You are my hero, I never new you could do that. I knew you could change the arrangement of the monitors but, did not know that you could change the main monitor.

My 20" is the main monitor whenever I'm at home! The PB will remember that setup for the next time you plug it in.... oh, and it's plug and play too, so you can connect or disconnect the PB while it's running and the machine will automatically change your settings.
