Ok. The mac should work without a monitor with an adapter. Its not something that's supported officially though so the keyword there is should. On 12/4/09, David McLean wrote: > Rick, How does it work using Safari? > On Dec 4, 2009, at 7:45 PM, Rick Harmon wrote: > >> Funny I'm using one here and

Why would the internet have anything to do with that issue? It has no relationship to monitors and video stuff. On 12/4/09, cougar1...@gmail.com wrote: > try getting on the internet > On Dec 4, 2009, at 4:43 PM, Rick Harmon wrote: > >> It does here, I'm playing a DVD with no problems or busy mess

Sorry for my mistakes here, I'm a mac newbie. What the other posters said is correct. regardless of adapter it does not work without the monitor plugged in. Once I shutdown the mac completely and powered back up it didn't work any longer with the monitor unplugged from the adapter. Rick
