I am sure some of you in netland who spend more time with the M*C than I, have
seen the M*C runing two monitors.  I was shown this at work.

When the person moves the mouse off one window it pops up in the other window.
It seems to work like one BIG monitor but in two sections.   ANY way that this
could be acomplished on the amiga?  From what they said the M*C can have FIVE
monitors going at the same time, One on each side and the one in the middle.

This looks real neat for those of us with hard drives that have very cluttered
screens  after going down to the deepest darkest directory.
