It's how people have been running dualhead on minis for the last year or two. Kevin you can, there’s a third party splitter that matrox makes.

And being "happy" should mean being more productive. However screen management is also helpful. On my Linux workstation I used virtual desktops all the time... so one screen with my code (usually in more than one window), another with the compile or run time, another screen with necessary documentation open and then screen with the front-end of the app I'm developing & testing. Unfortunately it can be a bit like buying a bigger house... u only end up buying more stuff to fill it up again :) Barry I’ve certainly found myself being more “happy” using a bigger screen.
