I've seen rumor sprinkled around the 'net about connecting 3 monitors to a 2011 mini: one via the HDMI port and 2 via the Thunderbolt port. Mixed in there was mention of the mini-display-port.

Has anyone done this? On any recent Mac?

The monitors I have are not Thunderbolt: DVI, HDMI, and mini-DVI/HDMI.

Thanks,
Dave

Just to clear up one point: a Thunderbolt port *is* a mini-display port.

It seems that it's hard to find a simple answer to your question, though.

To the best of my searching ability, I've determined that it is possible by this method, ONLY on a mini with AMD graphics (in 2011 mini series this is only the i7 dual-core and not the quad):

Connected to the Tbolt port: a Tbolt display with daisy-chain capability, and a 2nd monitor (any kind, with appropriate connector adapter) connected to this Tbolt display; and a third monitor (any kind, with appropriate connector adapter) connected to the HDMI port.

Any Tbolt Mac can support multiple monitors when a Tbolt expansion chassis is connected to the Tbolt port and dedicated video card(s?) is/are used.

Untried, but supported, I think.

Inaddition to those apps mentioned by Denver dan, The free Apple app "Preview" has a sharpen tool. Open Preview and You can find it under 'Tools>Color adjust'.

But, the answer to your question is no unless it's just slightly blurry.

I sometimes make a blurry photo and if it has some redeeming value I and want to save it,
I will make a copy and try some filters in PS Elements to give it a more painterly appearance.
Sometimes it comes out OK, sometimes it doesn't, but you can have some fun experimenting.

good luck

Thanks for your help.

Which version of Parallels, and of OS X? Is the XP disk a full Windows disk
or for Gateway only?

If you look down toward the bottom under 64bit OS you'll see that you need
to have windows XP running at least service pack 2
