Dual port video card

[Ops]

WOW....I didn't know it'd be that simple!!  That'd be GREAT!!  It's a bit
tough because I'm not done with the alpha version yet and have limited
access to his production box.  As soon as I get something *close* to an
alpha working app, I shall take it to his business and test/experiment on
the actual machine.

Thanks again!!
