A PC with two monitors? > At least we'd be gaining on the Macs. How so? Personally I never had more than 4 monitors on one Mac. Decided I was getting irradiated too much. Installation was trivial, simply plugged another Nubus card in, connected the monitor, and on power up the Mac guessed where to put the new monitor in relationship to the others. A little shuffling around in the Monitors Control Panel informed the Mac where I had phyically placed the new one in relation to the others. Was mighty useful to have schematics up on one 19" monochrome monitor, PCB layout on a 19" color, and source code on the 13" color. Got tired of the 13", removed it, and found places on the other monitors to put my MPW source code windows when I needed to see/edit source code. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
