Programs where it makes sense using two or more monitors are in my opinion
seriously crippled. Its about 2.3 million times faster (rough guess) to
press a key (to switch to another view) than to turn your head. In
addition, you can get wiplash (or something similar) by turning your head
too much. Please explan why I'm wrong, if I am.
