The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

I also run UltraMon
For anyone with multiple monitors, I second the vote for UltraMon*. I
can't recommend it highly enough. It adds buttons to the left of the
minimize button that allow you to quickly swap windows from one monitor
to the other, and also to quickly "dual-maximize" (for lack of a better
term). It also allows you to have a task bar on both monitors.
Some video card drivers do this, and there is free-as-in-beer
alternative (MultiMon**), but my experience is that only UltraMon
actually does it right. The others all fail to add the buttons to some
programs (Java programs seem to cause the most trouble), or they look
like they'd fit in if only this were Windows '95, among other frustrations.
As for productivity gains, one of the big ones I've found is improved
efficiency when coding to APIs. I like to have the documentation on one
screen and build the data structure and prototype definitions on the other.
HTH,
Adam
