Comments on: Get more windows on the Web with a three-monitor setup

DisplayLink lets you add monitors over USB, and two download apps make manging the windows easy.

Don't forget about Synergy! I use this app on my Mac Pro, Macbook Pro (and previously my Dell XP workstation) to _share a single keyboard/mouse_ among multiple computers. I originally got into using synergy so I could use my old Unicomp (clackety IBM style) keyboard on my mac (it was plugged into my PC). Now I have the USB Unicomp keyboard (works great on a mac), but love being able to use it and my nice mouse on both computers that are at my desk.

You can literally drag your mouse off the left edge of your workstation in the picture above and onto the laptop! As an added bonus, you get (text) clipboard sharing so you can copy/paste from computer to computer. I found this to be a great productivity booster, check it out!

Ultramon rocks for multi-monitor setups. It does the fancy stretched wallpaper stuff, but it has a lot of power settings also. It's one of the few non-free applications that I think is certainly worth the money.

I'm really tired of Web 2.0. First there was Arpanet, a dedicated Military site which I first worked on in 1968. It was refined and then came Tim Berners-Lee and HTTP, possibly the first Web 2.0., Arpanet was running, came simply enhancements. Streaming Media? Rich Media? Just more enhancements. There have been enhancements and enhancements to enhancements. Web 2.0 might be called Web 10.0 for all the different enhancements. Leave that tag alone. It just isn't a proper name for the various enhancements. I just call it enhancements, can and do program in nearly all languages, as well as code. I think that's pretty for an old guy who's seen nearly everything that's happened with computers from punch cards, paper tapes, magnet tapes, HTTP and all languages and codes. Come on boys and girls, there's nothing new under the sun. There are just enhancements.

If you are serious about using Multiple Monitors, you may want to invest in a SUPER PC: Multi-Monitor Computer, from http://Multi-Monitors.com . Their prices are really low, and their computers are incedibly stable and powerful. Wikipedia lists them as the largest Multi-Screen Computer Company (for more than 2 Monitors).

I have a 4 Monitor SUPER PC, very similar to the Quad video, and I just absolutely love it! Go for the good stuff, because you want stability! There are a lot of configuration techniques, that the pros use. Good luck!
