headaches... splitting... my ibook??
I've been noticing that every night I've been getting tremendous headaches at the rear of my head. I think it may have to do with the position of my screen or eye strain due to the small monitor on the 12in ibook. I love my book and have a splendid time on it, I don't want to have to ration my time on it.
Has anyone esle suffered similar problem?
I'm considering getting a seperate monitor for it, anyone suggest a decent one for under 300?
Additionally can I do the monitor spanning hack with a VGA monitor?
I'm off to bed now, before Athena escapes from the rear of my cranium.

There are two options to prevent the neck pain:
(1) position your iBook on a stand to elevate the screen, or
(2) get an external monitor with a long arm
In both cases you'll need an external keyboard and mouse. If the arm on your external monitor is not long enough, you can always set it on one or more phonebooks.
Personally, I just went the external monitor route and ordered a Viewsonic VP171B ThinEdge 17" LCD (for $520 from Amazon). It should be here Friday and I can't wait to use it. Note that I chose a larger monitor with 1280x1024 resolution in anticipation of buying a 12-inch PowerBook, which can support a higher resolution than the built-in LCD on an external monitor.

However, you'll find that an iCurve will help, in addition to an extra keyboard and mouse (so you don't have to type with your hands in the air)
locate it a little higher up and you should be ok.
