Hi there, i have a MacBook Pro 15'' and when at home i attach to it my external 24'' screen.<br />
Given that i have a keyboard and mouse attached as well, i would like to completely disable the screen of the mac. <br />
<br />
While i could just have all my windows on the big screen i want to use &quot;expose&quot; as if i had only one screen...I know there is a solution for what i want by closing the lid of my macbook but when this happens my macbook overheats.<br />
<br />
So how can i disable the screen of my mac book???<br />

MacOSX use only external screen

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
