[DogParkList] Hammin' with my Mac issue...

[Larry West]

Thanks for the tip. I checked that out, and will see if I can get a 
switch replacement through Apple.

In the meantime, tried the command-shift Displays thing, and nothing 
comes up under "options" for the ADC monitor. It does, though for the 
DVI monitor. Will have to unplug the DVI & see if anything changes.
