Nope, not quite. One is color and the other isn't. They both are 21"
screens set at 1152 x 780. The color one sets directly in front of me and
the B/W sets to my right. I use the debugger the same as you, but it
occupies the *right* monitor. I wonder what differences there may be
between right-monitor-tending people and left-monitor-tending people. By
any chance are you left handed?

I often change the colors, of the color monitor, from 256 to millions for
various tasks. But, when I do, it is usually because some program told me
it couldn't run in millions of colors.

The game that you spoke of, that uses three monitors, is the A10 series.
It's a neat game. I used to play it often, when I had more time.

Thanks for the very useful explanation as to how and when to program for
different monitors.
