I would also like to know the answer to this question myself since I also work off my laptop. Thanks.

Question about Laptop Plug HI all: Several weeks ago someone on this list mentioned that there is a plug that tricks the screen to thinking that it is plugged to an external monitor. Does anyone know what this plug is called? Or where to get it? I didn't pay attention at the time if this was discussed. My husband and I just got a laptop and we'd like to conserve battery. Thanks in advance. Please email me off list to avoid cluttering the list. ***** Grace silvara@xxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this outgoing message.
