Subject:Re: Business case for dual monitors From:john -at- garisons -dot- com Date:Fri, 2 May 2008 12:03:03 -0400 (EDT)
I use a second monitor for a couple of reasons:
1) I keep my email open in one monitor, everything else is on the main one.
2) I keep the application I am writing about on secondary screen, and the
tool being used to do the writing on the main screen. I find it's a lot
easier to look from screen to screen than to alt-tab between subject and
work on one.
My 2¢,
John G
