"I like the depth and focus on positivism and consciousness these shows have. My favorites are Expanded Lovemaking and Sales Magic. Both give me a lot of energy and new ideas. Plus the site is really pretty."

It's amazing. Studies have shown this for years. The tiny extra cost provides major benefits in terms of how much information workers can process at one time.

I actually prefer a larger single screen instead of two separate screens, but yes, I agree with the article.

I pretty much started the two monitor revolution here at work after using it several years at home. There's really no other way.

Virtual desktops are just not the same thing as more physical screen real estate.

I wonder if productivity would go up if I had 6 or 8 or 12 screens at my desk? I think I'd love it, but I'm not sure how much work I'd get done. ;)

Tim uses 2 screens and one computer. I use one mongo screen but bounce between two computers.

Personally, two screens increased my productivity. Far more than virtual desktops do.

I use three monitors. I like multiple screens better than wide screens.

I have a Dell XPS 13 inch notebook paired with a 52 inch LCD monitor (1920x1080) and still would like more real estate. Once you have it, I find I want more.

I have an old 17" connected to my laptop with the desktop spanned. I sure miss it when I'm on the road.

On the flip side, if you want to reduce your computer addiction, get a monitor with 800x600 resolution. You'll find yourself using cellphone websites with that screen. :D

Steve: Virtual Desktops is really not the same thing as being able to see 1+ things *at the same time*. If you have IM client or other 'ambient' apps one the other screen, you can still focus on what you're working on, without missing anything.

I seem to remember that the study this was taken from was sponsored by an LCD screen manufacturer.

I agree Robert. I use Plaxo between my Outlook at work, my Mac at home, and I've even used the online address book a couple of times as well. I do wish it had full synchronization with Gmail, but I'm sure that day is coming at some point.

I do the same thing. It saved me recently when my work PC died. Since my work calendar was synced with my personal calendar, I was still able to see all my teleconference info (I work from home).
- Tim Chemacki
There's a 10,000 record limit on Plaxo that prevents me from using it. Anyone have a work around?'
