Don't buy Radius if you will be using a second monitor as the startup
monitor (the one with the menu bar) together with the Radius monitor.
I had some horrible incompatibility problems (Word 3.01, Illustrator,
Excel 1.5, LSP 2.0, etc.), which were confirmed by my dealer. He was fair
enough to give me my money back.

As long as the Radius monitor is the primary monitor, everything seems
fine. I shudder when I think of how badly the Radius software must be
implemented, if they are unable to anticipate someone using another
monitor together with theirs.

Also, Radius was most uncooperative in resolving the issue. I will
never even consider doing business with them again.
