Expose on extended mode?

Hi folks,

I'm waiting to order my Powerbook, and I'm planning to have a second display running in extended mode. What does Expose do in that situations? Show all windows opened on both displays on the Powerbook display? And is the Dock only visible on one display or can it be seen on both?

On a completely unrelated note, do you have to have a .Mac account to use Backup to a disk? Otherwise you're stuck backing up files by hand?

Cheers.

I would guess it shows all open windows in the display that has the Menu Bar and Dock.

And is that display fixed, or can the Menu Bar and Dock be moved to the other display? It would be weird to have a big extended display and the Powerbook display and have Expose run on the latter.

Expose is done on each screen individually.

As for the menubar/dock, you can move it to either screen. Menubar/dock is only visible on one screen.

I'm just here to confirm that what MCQ described is exactly correct.
