Dual Monitor setup
I've got at my disposal an Acer 24" Widescreen LCD and a ViewSonic 20" LCD.
Do people here have any ideas on making a dual monitor setup using these two monitors? ie, where to put them? |

While this thread may be "technical" in nature, "The Technical Zone" forum is still part of "Discussions about Email Services". Therefore, I'm moving this thread to "The Off-Topic Lounge". |

 You could rotate the 24" widescreen 90 degrees if you frequently deal with long documents. I use a PowerBook that sits (open) below my external display. I have my PowerBook's display designated as my primary display (with the menu bar), and have my Dock pinned to the left of it. My secondary display is set to span off to the right. |
