Monitors

[Arthur Dent]

What is the purpose of having more than one monitor?

Just an example, you could have a report open in Word on one screen and a spreedsheet open in Excel on the other sheet. When you move your mouse to the edge of one screen it automatically appears on the other screen. So, you can copy and paste and click and drag between screens as well as switch between two programs without having to minimize and maximize all the time.

Also, graphic artists love it because they put all the palletes and toolbars on one screen and use the other as the canvas. Really nice set-up.
