12" G4PB OSX 10.4.11. Wireless KBD and Mouse.

The PB is my primary machine until her "queenship" hits the road for a seminar (once or twice a month).  It is connected to a 17" LCD here.

When I select a picture for the desktop (from the wireless kbd) it appears on both the laptop and the LCD.  When I "unhook" from the LCD the picture on the laptop then reverts to it's prior desktop picture.

Knowing this, I recently changed the picture to one I really like ASSUMING that when she fired up the PB and projector for her talk that the prior picture would appear.  Well it does not.(must have something to do with the "F7"Mirror function)  So instead of a nice sunset over the lake as her starting point for this seminar, she was faced with a beautiful picture of an SR71(Blackbird) at altitude. oops.gif Being very quick on her feet it did not cause any problems eek2.gif and her only comment to me on her return was "What the devil IS THAT thing" rolleyes.gif

Certainly not a problem but interesting.

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.
