Just takes one here... nothing stopping me from running both processes
on one machine (486/75). I use a really cool little add-on called
PageMage - it gives me multiple desktop with X-Windows-type switching
(ie. just push the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen, and it will
jump to the next desktop in that direction). Set up a nice 5x5 grid of
desktops and put everything in its own little piece of real estate! :-)
Your friend and mine,
Matt
