- I found a second screen especially useful for debugging software be it with
- Think Pascal or C, or with HyperCard. It is easy to have the main program
- running on the main monitor, and to use the other monitor to have a debug
- window open. Or with text or word processing, I find it useful to use the
- second monitor to perhaps have an old file open for comparison to the new.
- For an SE-type monitor, what you might want to do is have your control
- panels open there, or your about the finder with the memory status of the
- programs you're currently running....
