The "Tip" says "The standard video card in a Mac Pro has jacks for two monitors." Maybe not all of them, because my Mac Pro has only one place to plug in a monitor. I have an early 2009 Mac Pro with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB graphics card. I believe that was standard when I purchased it. Note from the Author or Editor: |

Printed | Page 120 Workaroung workshop at the bottom of the page |
The text within the workaround workshop flows around an image in the middle. Unfortunately, the first line of text "spills over" the top of the image, and the words "en masse." hang above the image, making it hard to work out where they should actually be. Are they part of the first sentence on the left, the end of the last sentence on the left column, or part of the right hand column? Note from the Author or Editor: |

Printed | Page 181 8th (I believe - it's the section titled Deleting a Desktop) |
The book states that to delete a desktop (Spaces), you enter Mission Control and point to one of the screen thumbnails without clicking until a - (a minus sign) appears in its corner and then you click on it. What actually occurs is that when you enter Mission Control, the screen thumbnails (labeled Dashboard, Desktop 1, Desktop 2, etc.) will have an X in a circle in the upper left corner of the thumbnail. You click on the X in this circle to delete the desktop. Note that you cannot delete the two default desktop labeled Dashboard and Desktop 1. No X in a circle appears if you move the cursor over these default thumbnails. Note from the Author or Editor: |
