This is not a flame, but I suggest that if you're a pro and you really
want dual monitor support, you use a Mac.
You'll get all of the Director functionality you need ('cause of course
you're taking advantage of the cross-platform capabilities of Director and
hitting the entire multimedia market, right?), and multiple monitor
support is _built in_, you just need another video card (it doesn't have
to have special dual monitor capablities, any old one will do).
I'm really surprised that this is not more common in PCs, it's an
indispensable feature that I absolutely _love_! (I really miss it when I
work on my PC). I put all of my palettes on one monitor and work on the
other one where I can see all of the screen (particularly useful for
Photoshop and Director). It's way cheaper to purchase, say, a 17" monitor
for imaging and work, and a 15" monitor for palettes, than it is to
purchase a good (or even marginally good) 21" monitor.
I'm afraid that I cannot offer any advice as to how you can get this
functionality to a PC, sorry.
Best of luck,
Chas
