This reminds me of a recent posting where someone was dreaming about some
neat things that might be done in the future (extending one window across
multiple monitors).  Having never used two monitors at once, I don't know
how it's supposed to work, but I saw an interesting ad in the summer issue
of MacGuide (page 27).

It shows two monitors (side-by-side and stacked on top of each other).  The
ad copy makes it clear that this is what you can do with their monitors and
card.  In fact, they are selling two 19" monitors and their card for $2450.
One monitor and their card is $1450.  Their ad asks why you should limit your
work to a single or even double page display.

The vendor is Mirage and the toll free number is (800) 782-0097.  I would
presume that they've done something special to make this work given the
above posting.
