Re:A more fundamental problem with dual monitors (Score 1)

Right. In 1990ish I put 6 monitors on a macII 1 color and 5 19inch monocrome, just because we had them around and unused that week. AMost of the monitors were just unusable, even if all you wanted to do was open 27 pages of online documentation. The only way to do is was to open the document on the screen with the toolbar and drag it to the right monitor. But to try to do something other than scroll or enter text, forget it. Another case where optimizing for one case totally screws up other cases. Here we have one that worked well in 1984 with a tiny monitor, but as display technology evolved became less useful, then a real impediment.

In a way it surprises me because macs had multiple screen capabilities built into them from the macII onward.
