Do you READ what you WRITE?
You wrote:

How ELSE could that statement be interpreted than that you wanted to use the eSATA port to replace the functionality of the mini DisplayPort?

Doug,

Well, it was *you* that mentioned the MDP port and proposed change of
monitor. If it's not relevant, why even mention it?

Remember that others might be very confused by what we write. I read (and
reply to) posts with that in mind.

I also gave you information on speeds. What's your problem with that?
;)

Thanks, Jim.

Now this reminds me that ThunderBolt uses the MDP port, IOW the same port
can be used to connect displays, FireWire devices, ethernet, and others,
although not eSATA (yet?).

Howdy.

MobileMe is gone. Ended. Terminated. Apple announced the
termination/end of MobileMe more than a year ago and if people had
renewed back then Apple did a nice free account extension.

You can set up iCloud now.

You can convert your MobileMe mail to iCloud mail using same email
address.

You can access iCloud from your desktop computer.

<https://www.icloud.com/>

More iCloud info at:

<http://www.apple.com/icloud/>

iCloud is free.

iCloud has 5 GB of free storage space.

I understand Apple is offering a free 20 GB amount of space to MobileMe
subscribers for a certain length of time.

You need an Apple iCloud email address (free) for all iCloud features
to work.

I forgot the second half of the sentence:
"...and not charge you anything for the mail services."

2 errors, DD
1. you have an eSATA installed by OWE.
2. Photographers use iMacs, even Professional Photography schools such
as Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara (and they use Epson,
not Canon, like i do) printers. just to confuse you all the more.
3. i complained several years ago about the lack up "upgradability" of
iMacs, and you refuted that, even though you had the Mac Pro
desktop. well, i seemed (with some help) to find a way around that,
with the eSATA installed (not yet. not sure i still trust OWC after
this)
in the "card" slot, no, not the CD/DVD (which i want to stay), and
with the O striped RAID (thanks you other guys-yeah-success).
and a second monitor LED LCD (yes it says both) for under $200. "why,
i remember back in the old days...." but, it is true, also.

Happy Fourth of July

Doug, I understand the card slot adapter stuff but I don't think it
will transfer data at real eSATA speeds. It can do eSATA but it can't
do eSATA speeds. With that in mind I'm not sure if it makes sense to
try eSATA via an adapter on a MacBook Pro.
