My manager got me two monitors last Spring...it is the greatest thing
EVER! I too feel very spoiled with the second monitor and when I am
home I am always looking for the other monitor. I am asking Santa for
it. :) Two monitors work great for cutting and pasting and updating
documents! I have also cut my need for printing WAY down!
