Another big problem is tht nobody really addresses how their product

the fact that there is a cycle involved as to how often you

with funds available.


I've been toying with that idea as well.

I hate digging through a bunch of small windows to looks something up
while I'm drawing or whatever.

A second (or third?) screen would be most useful.



X/linux will allow you to have as many screens (desktops,not monitors)
as you want -- I use 4 and can move from one to another by moving my
mouse to the edge of the current screen. The Windows powertoys
(tweakui) will also allow you 4 screens.


You have to click on the 1/2/3/4 down at the bottom, but it works.

Thanks Real,

I'lve heard of TweakUI, but never played with it.
Guess it's time...


M$ puts a BEWARE THERE BE DRAGONS HERE notice on it, but I've used one
or another of its functions since 1995 with no problems at all. It
contains stuff that SHOULD have been in the OS but, for some reason, isn't.
