I shouldn't watch Minority Report

Okay, this is silly...

At home, I have a g3 with two 17 inch lcd monitors. At work I have a single 19 inch tube on my xp box. At work it's starting to get annoying when I want just a few more things open and keep wanting to toss part of the work over to a second screen like I do at home. Problem is, I don't have a second screen at work.

Now, at home, you would think everything is peachy keen. However, I've been playing with learning Old English and attempting a translation of part of Beowulf on my own.

So, I have my document open, and one browser on one online dictionary, then a second browser on a different dictionary, and a 3rd....

Things get messy.

I know I could just use browser tabs, but it is nice to be able to just glance at everything at once and compare them without having to switch screens around all the time. The problem is, I run out of screen real estate even on a pair of 17 lcds. So I found myself today thinking, what if I had 2 banks of 17 inch lcd monitors, then I could put things all over the other 3 windows and they would be a simple grab away and easy to see at a glance.

This is the way to madness. Just 2 more screens.. (for now........) No matter how much desktop real estate you have, you'll always grow to want just one (or two!) more screen. /sigh
