When I am forced to use a PC without dual monitors, I actually get pissed off. Like truly angry. It seems like an affront against all that’s good and right in the world.
Not having dual monitors is crippling. How people can work on a tiny postage-stamp-screen laptop is beyond me. At least I have the consolation that I’ll always be vastly more productive than they are, sort of like people who attempt to use tablets to work.
Dual monitors are the best thing I’ve ever done to increase my productivity when working, bar none.
With the amount of tabs you say you need to use along with all of the windows, no wonder you need them. Otherwise your eyeballs would be telling you to go fuck yourself within 6 hours.
I was neutral to dual monitors before I went that way about 15 years ago. And then I was like, “Now I see the light and the way.”
They are particularly useful when I am connected to multiple servers and virtual machines and need to see two or more screens on separate systems at the same time.
