This is possible on a PC.  Take a look at CodeView, the standard Microsoft
debugger.  What I meant was that using a second screen as real estate for
your GUI is useless.  That's what the discussion was about.

OK.  Enough said about this.  I'm sure that the Mac manages multiple screens
in a much cleaner way than the PC.  I still believe that stacking 8 monitors
on your desktop is not the best solution for a workstation-type display.
