I've been looking to share my screen from my Macbook Air on two monitors (duplicate/clone) ... and there was not many options available. The guys at the Apple stores says it can't be done ... while I went to all the hardware stores to look for a mini-DisplayPort splitter ... it doesn't exist. So what can I do?

There are two options ... spend over $200 USD for a Matrox DualHead2Go or similar, which apparently has some incompatibility issues with the Macbook Air or around the same price ... go for a bulky VGA splitter box, which again isn't really what I wanted.

It took me a while to figure this out ... but finally I have a workable solution! In this article we will show you how to setup dual display for your Macbook Air via HDMI (duplicate/clone screen only). It even works with the lid closed (thanks to the FREE NoSleep app).

It's a long story, but basically the hard drive on my friend's computer ran out of space the other day. So in the end, we decided to buy a larger internal hard drive to replace the old one. Simple. So what's next?

Well, after we installed the hard drive, we decided to use it as the main C: drive instead, and use the old one as a backup. That's all good until we realize we can't find my friend's restore DVD. Fear not ... as we still have his Windows Vista disc which came with the system (it's a genuine copy may I add).

Luckily for my friend, I was kind enough to lend him my Windows 7 disc ...
