Ha, noted. But I have yet to use a PC notebook in which I went from
dual-display mode to single mode properly. Even when the machine knows it
has only one display and kills off the external port, Windows still keeps
apps and things on the outside display.

Our team got outfitted with blazin' new Thinkpads this year, but the next
upgrade will def. be to Macbooks-- cheaper than Thinkpads. But it would be
totally sweet if Apple would release their OS to even just the Thinkpad. You
can step on/drop/play frisbee with these things and they don't even blink.
Not that I've tried doing any of that. Well, at least not the third one ...
