@BRY7,
I don't think we need any congratulatory post each time a topic is open

Also, I don't think it's very necessary to have the link of the Apple Online Store in Post #1 but if @stringfellow wants to include it in, I've no problems. The thing is - I don't see Y people just can't google it - it's not like the Apple Online Store link is hidden, right?

@KKW,
Try using RealPlayer to play your movies; it can play as a full screen on your external monitor and you can continue working on ur Mac's screen. With VLC on the other hand, I think I get the black/blank screen on my laptop.
