I used a dual-monitor system for a while, but for my own workflow a single
19" per system has been enough, and CRT prices are in freefall: - I just
picked up a ViewSonic for the Linux box at Fry's for $250.
Another option is printing, if you can spare the ink cartridges. :)
I think Geoff Canyon has a stack that exports the Rev docs as RTF for
printing - Geoff, what's the URL?
