I often have an external display attached to my PowerBook. Just recently I wished my “primary” display, the one with the menu, was my external display. After about five minutes of poking at the display preferences pane I realized you can drag the little menu from the display it’s on to whichever display you want. That’s nice. This is one of those things I feel like I should have known, but didn’t.

Oh, and don’t worry, changing this doesn’t shuffle any windows, it just adjusts which display the menu and dock are on and which display is considered the primary display (this matters for some other apps like quicksilver, growl, etc).
