dual monitors are awesome. Those of you who have not tried them, should go get another monitor and see what you are missing out on

Convince me!

Programming
I can have CoD4 open windowed in one screen and log problems that happen, changes required, etc, in the other screen.
I can have one screen showing my code, and the other window to show function lists, outputs, etc

Mapping
Have editor open in one screen, research/pictures in another.

Gaming
Game open in one screen, Xfire/MSN/Winamp open in the other

Photoshop
Same as mapping.
Have photoshop open in one screen and have the tools and windows open on the other.

General Use
Moving files, searching files, emails on constant update, comparing two files.

Thats just a simple list of quick and obvious advantages.

I agree it would come in handy having a second monitor. I'll think about it some longer before I might get myself to actually buy one.
