    Those pictures behind you in the iMac photo header… what’s the story?

    Glad you noticed them, Charles. Too bad my head is covering the blue one.

    There are a set of 5 serigraphs (silkscreen prints) hanging on the wall behind me. I bought them at an auction in 1979. The artist is Rudolf Bikkers. Do a Google search and you’ll find plenty about him, but nothing I have found on these particular pieces.

    Mr Bikkers had been doing work than was very controlled and tight. These 1978 prints were splashier and free. I liked them then and still do. They are comical, but in an edgy sort of way.

    Interesting that firefox has a way to show the password behind the ‘dots.’ I wonder if that’s popular?

    BC is doing just fine. Ontario may not get my emails though, eh? I wonder if the Mac memo I left from January counts? All the best. I’ll write using ordinary mail too.

    Hey Billy,
    Happy New Year
    i have a Keynote question…
    When making a Keynote presentation and using an external projector ,the MacBook has a feature that allows you to view the ‘current’ and ‘next’ slides on your Mac while only the current slide shows on the projected screen…”Play / Customize Presenter Display’……’Great’ feature for presenters who use their own external projector.
    The problem is I cannot get it to work properly….My projected image shows both the ‘Current’ and ‘Next’ slides..I cannot get only the single ‘Current’ image on the screen…I have checked all the settings but am stumped!! Any suggestions..I plan to go to the Mac Store this week to ask the question but I thought I would ask my ‘Guru’ first.
    Cheers!
    Mark

    Hi, Mark. Happy 2010.
    I am neither a laptop nor a projector owner but I found what looks like a pretty good Apple tech note here:
