I know that you can connect an external display via mini dv cable and you can make the screens mirrored or next to each other and what not. My question is how can I make it to where i can close the MB without it going off and still be able to make it display on the external?

Awesome Prechate the info. Does it matter that I have a wireless mighty mouse and keyboard because it's not recognizing or coming on when I do that.

Everything else you wrote was in perfect English, why use "Prechate"?

If anything, it should 'preciate, but how much time does that really save?
