iBook extended desktop hack (just checking)
I have the 12" iBook G4, and a 21" monitor that I would like to use with it. I have looked at the iBook Extended Desktop Hack in detail, but before I try anything I'd just like to know for sure - If I do the temporary version of this hack, is there any chance of causing permanent damage to my iBook? Also will it void the guarantee ? Has anyone had any paricularly good or bad experiences with this?

i've done this to two ibooks. if you follow the instructions, there is no risk of damage. you'll be fine.
EDIT: Oups... you said iBook G4....
I wonder why Apple bother to disable this feature if they're going to make the software open source and pretty much encourage us to hack our machines?

Works wonderfully
go ahead and do it, there's nothing that could go wrong

Famous last words.
Not saying you are wrong about the hack, but there is ALWAYS something that could go wrong.
= A Very Bad Thing?
