Thumbs up Not enough screen space?

For those of us that have switched to Netbooks for portability you'll frequently find yourself squinting at the screen and toggling Windows (or desktops) like someone having a fit (in fact doing enough ALT-TABbing may induce a fit in my opinion!).

I spotted this today: The Mimo Mini USB Monitor.

Looks like a fantastic idea, shame it's Windows/Mac only as my little linux netbook would quite like one of these for Christmas!

It's a good idea, especially for laptops but I think I may be suffering from screen over indulgence

You do get used to it and after a while finding going back to dual or single monitors really hard. I'm thinking about adding a fourth...

I was running of a laptop for some time so had main screen (22" widescreen) and laptop screen. I'm now back on a desktop and I've only got one screen. Virtual desktops just don't make up for having a couple of screens so I think a second 22" widescreen will need to be ordered.

I've got a single 22" screen at present, but definitely want to add two more - probably 19" - monitors to my rig. Will get around to it at some time..!

Have to say Phil has it pretty much bang on there, a triple monitor setup rocks, I use a wide-screen 22" in the centre of my setup with 2 19" on the sides.
Screens running from 2 gfx cards rather than a Matrox triplehead which needs monitors to all be the same size.
