Since my 1st Mac (the 128K model) I have only used 1 monitor. I have 

occasionally wished for a 2nd so that different programs are in 

different windows on different monitors. I have gotten by with 

running my monitor at 1600 x 1200 (which Flash insists on filling up 

by default hiding all other windows which makes the floating Finder 

popup useful).


I guess I can see how long timelines across multiple monitors would 

be useful, but I wonder if there are other less obvious reasons your 

people insist on multiple monitores. They may help me justify the 

expense to the Queen ;-)


Cheers,


Bill
