Currently using a 24 inch display @1920x1280 85.2mhz. Yar, it be huge. Next to it is a 21 inch monitor running 1600x1200 75mhz, and a third display, a 19 incher running at 1280x1024 at 85 mhz.
One monitor for work, all my documents and such are there. The 21 incher. The 19 incher is used for whatever, typically gaming. I always have something open in that one. Right now, it is Burning Monkey Solitare. The 24 incher is where I keep all my browser windows, net windows, email windows, messenger windows, and a small iTunes window running with the pretty swirly visual display.
For the longest time, I always, and I mean always, worked with a dual display set up, one of the reasons I have always loved the Macintosh. I started running dual displays back in the 80s.
A while ago, I noticed that my dual displays started feeling cramped. I spend so much time multi tasking with so many applications open and I started having trouble remembering what was where. There was the communications and work monitor, and there was the game monitor. To many communications apps opened, to many work apps, just to many windows in one monitor. Now, I have work and communications seperated, and a lot more gets done.
Seriously thinking about a fourth monitor, especially if I start doing a bunch of command line stuff with OSX unix. I am pondering teaching my self Perl. Or maybe Cocoa.
I don't see how anybody can get anything done one just one monitor.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
