- RE using 2 monitors on a PC:
- We do this regularly, both for programming and applications. In control
- systems, [deleted]
- I'm not sure why nobody else (outside Forth) seems to do this.
-
- This isn't a FORTH vs. non-FORTH issue. My brother "does" control
- systems using various proprietry languages, (no FORTH :-(), and
- regularly uses two monitors. Also two monitors can come in handy when
- doing heavy duty graphics work. However, for anybody who has access
- to a machine with a decent screen resolution (>= 1M pixel) and a
- decent window system (fill in your favourite), there seems little
- advantage in multiple monitors.
