No, I guess I mis-understood the issue.

Yes, Brian, that is correct. I'm curious about Todd if his multi-mode is
able to view two DIFFERENT things on both external and LCD. I'm not trying
to brag about the Ashton Digital here, I'm really curious now what other
laptops are capable of viewing two separate monitors with different
information on each one at the same time.
But maybe this thread is dead and we should get on with Vantage stuff.

Yes, I can attach an external display, and I can choose if I want to see
the
laptop display, the external display, or both.
What I think someone in this
thread is saying though, is that they can attach an external display,
and
view one thing on the laptop display and something different on the
external
display at the same time. That, I can't do.

All laptops I have used have the ability to accept an external video
display
whether it be a monitor or projector or whatever. You typically will use
the
function key plus another key on your keyboard to toggle between three
options; LCD only, External only or both.

I have an IBM Thinkpad, with Win2000. If it is capable of doing
multi-monitoring, I can't figure out how, and I can't find any
documentation
on it or any mention of it anywhere.

I've not used many laptops in my day. I'd love to know if others can
do
this. I've never heard someone say that any others could, and none
have
touted the possibility in ads that I've seen. Maybe they assume
everyone
knows it. Can anyone else confirm that their laptop has multi-monitor
capability? Mine has three modes: single, mirror (both monitors view
the
same thing), multi-monitor (both monitors view separate information).

I would say that most every if not every laptop built today
has this capability.

not only to mirror the LCD screen, but to use as a whole separate

thereby doubling your desktop space on the screen. Right now I have
on
the SVGA monitor and a remote connection to Vantage on the LCD screen.
