Has anyone used the spanning desktop hack for dual displays on an emac? I would really like to be able to use dual monitors again (I had a g4 desktop before). I have an ibook that went a little crazy, so I am apprehensive about doing this with my new emac. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

?! I suspect the "Not found" page is stuck in a web-cache somewhere down the line.

Try this one.

Ibodnar's site works fine here.. Although it was down 2-3 days ago..

Besides, for the dual screen mod, that isnt exactly the site you need anyway, you need THIS.
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

Awesome, running 1280x960 on eMac, 800x600 on a tv for now (no $ for a second screen) but the 800x600 looks great running mplayer on a 32 inch tv while still working on the eMac.
