[clue-tech] two monitors - the new fad

[Gus S Calabrese]

New Fad ?


I have been using two monitors for at least 5 years.
When I sit down in front of one monitor I feel chocked
if I have to deal with more than one application.
For some apps I use both monitors just for that app.

A little more.  I fill one monitor with my Citrix window and use  
xterms on the other.  So it's like having 2 computers at my desk  
(Solaris and Windows) but I don't need 2 keyboards and mice like the  
people who have a separate PC.

Once in a while I have too many thing open in Solaris so I minimize  
Citrix and open some things on that side.  But you can't move windows  
to the other monitor (Solaris 8 and CDE, ugh).

One thing that would help immensely is cut and paste between Citrix  
and Solaris (not allowed by security I'm told).

But my screen size needs are pretty minimal, I don't do any graphics  
anything.
