Mac: Two monitors to an iMac • USB multi-display adapter

The Dells and iMac with the 'champion' on the table


Coldplay • What If  ∆

Although the pre-Thunderbolt iMac 27" 2009 has an MDP port for a second monitor, the remaining USB ports may be channelled to add as many monitors as there are available USB ports via a bang-for-buck USB multi-display adapter. It's a dodgy brand but the nifty Mountain Lion compatible adapter uses a DisplayLink powered hardware and retails at RM155.00 at Sri Computers, Low Yat Plaza, Kuala Lumpur.

The DisplayLink driver in the enclosed disk is vintage but a URL is provided for the current version. Once installed, Displays in System Preferences shows up the USB monitor to calibrate, rotate, extend and/or mirror.

Understandably, being USB driven, HD movies on the newfound monitor are a tad jittery, but excellent for web browsing, mails, word processing and general reading, which in portrait mode, just adds to the experience.

The Dells that stand portrait to the iMac at home are the 27" S2740Ls. An MDP to HDMI wire connects the first monitor and a DVI to DVI projects the second. The adapter is a 'champion' and is applicable to all Macs from Leopard onwards.

Exchange Stabilization Fund (Parts 1 to 4) •... by 1tommypeters1 Exchange Stabilization Fund (Part 5) • Eric... by 1tommypeters1 Bullet points summarized by The Daily Bell • The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created (without oversight) by Congress in the 1930s to ensure support of the Dollar. It has done a lousy job of what it was supposed to do, as the Dollar has lost almost all its value. • The ESF was put in the hands of the head of the US Treasury and the US Treasurer has absolute power to do what he wants with the fund. • As a result, the ESF has acted as a giant slush fund that has funded the growth of the American Empire over the past century against the will of both Congress and many bankers in private industry. • The ESF effectively runs the US Federal Reserve and tells the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Fed) what to do. It does this because it is responsible for stabilizing the dollar and implementing policies that are in the national inte

While it's safe to assume that Farhan and friends are not on Rihanna's Christmas card list, they are definitely on mine and I hope they progress the arrested narrative to its logical conclusion. All 11 parts are posted above without express permission.  Words - Tommy Peters The quote in the preamble is attributed to Dennis Prager and the comments appended below are re-posted from AboveTopSecret.com that hosted the documentary in 2010.
