Multiple monitors: add horsepower to your workspace!
Multi-tasking is only as easy (or useful) as the amount of 'room' you have to accomplish the tasks at hand: it's pretty tough to work on 2 cars in a 1-car garage, for example, since shuffling them back-and-forth can take more time than the tire changes or tune-up they need!
Of course, the same is true of your computer workspace- it can be frustrating to work on a spreadsheet for the boss if it doesn't fit on the desktop next to his email with all that pertinent data you need to enter! Switching screens can be like moving cars- not quite as sweaty, but just as tedious. What to do?
Adding a second monitor can make a big difference to your daily workflow and output; we are still surprised that more of our customers haven't already taken advantage of this productivity-boosting upgrade. With the widespread deployment of the LCD panel monitor, a second screen takes up about 10 square inches of your physical desktop and can easily double or triple your existing 'virtual' workspace. Best of all, your laptop (and in many cases your PC) will support a second monitor without opening the chassis or adding any new hardware at all!
By the way, we've been seeing a lot of computers come into our Ruckersville shop with Trojan viruses that were picked up from Facebook, so let's be careful out there! Stay on Facebook's main pages to post and read messages, but try to avoid following links that take you away from Facebook's web site unless you are VERY sure about where it is taking you.

I can confirm the convenience of two monitors, Phil suggested it some time ago and I love it!
