Default two monitors on one pc?

Swordfish style monitor seems a bit cool.

if i have 2 monitors on the same pc does the mouse just leave the right edge of one and pop up on the left edge or the other???? and how does it know which app to show on which screen?

Yes the mouse does move from screen to screen.

Apps will open in the primary screen first time you open them, you can move them to which ever screen then close them. Next time they will open in the window selected.

One of my customers has three connected to one machine! I have a picture and will post when I find it.

Got it on my studio Mac - it's a GODSEND!!!

Basically (PC works the same), you place the window/app where you want it (easy really!)

i like to run a lot of apps at once....often writting reports where i have to cut and paste stuff (and constantly switching between windows) this sounds cool!

19"s are just the right size Tiggs - 17"s are too small.
