You were probably against a windowing interface when XWindows and Macintosh came out, weren't you?!? ;-) If I could do it easily with standard VGA cards, I'd plunk down a bit of cash to re-use an aging but functional VGA monitor to have as a second head on the system...
Indeed, I've been using dual-headed workstations since day one, I cannot get any work done without at least two heads. I'm trying to add a third to my current workstation actually. I need to keep a lot of code context on the screen at once, and one 1280x1024 screen just doesn't cut it at all.
