Hi,

It would actually be beneficial to me for a magnification standpoint, I could 
put various screens on the different monitors with differing magnification etc. 
 That said it can be confusing when you aren't sure what is on which screen.

In the case where I am using a specific debugger the newer versions default to 
a specific monitor whilst the program is being ran/compiled etc, and you can 
step through the code directly using the debugger.  This is completely 
inaccessible as it runs using a virtual device driver, but I use it regularly 
enough that it will cause an issue not being able to use two monitors.

The other reasons my bosses want me to use two monitors is due to training: 
People find it difficult to see what I am doing on the computer because I look 
very close to the screen, and so all they can see is the back of my head :).  I 
have used another system with two monitors, and switched the display so it was 
the same on both screens, then used the one monitor only, so they could see 
what I was doing on the other screen.

Thanks.
Andrew.

Not exactly high priority for a product which supports people with very limited 
vision i shouldn't imagine. All be it that there are some such as Andrew who 
asked the original question for whom it would be a help.
