RE: Business case for dual monitors

["Phil Rosenkranz" <phil -dot- rosenkranz -at- co -dot- yakima -dot- wa -dot- us>]

I have a wide screen set in "portrait" mode (for full page document
view) next to a standard aspect LCD.  One of the managers asked why I
had one monitor "on it's side", and I told him it was for when I laid my
head on my desk, I could still watch youtube.  I had him hooked for a
few seconds before one of my cube-mates started sniggering.

Nice!  But what about this, it sounds pretty complicated:

"After you have rotated your monitor, you need to complete the procedure

below to rotate your operating system."*

I think I'd keep on shopping, or just turn the physical monitor on its
side.
