Yes, the MB's support dual displays with extended desktops (I believe
they also support mirroring.) You can buy either a dvi or vga adapter.
This wouldn't be a desktop replacement for me (I use a dual-1GHz
Quicksilver G4 as my main computer at home), especially since Adobe is
dragging their feet on the intel-flavored Pshop. Apple should quit
screwing around with Aperture since it's just eating up resources and is
buggy and getting panned in all the reviews...just buy Adobe and be done
with it.
