Without them I'd be lost. But, I don't use any of the applications you suggested, I use DisplayFusion by Binary Fortress (http://www.displayfusion.com/) It was only $25 for a license.I have a few pictures on my Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonwhite/sets/72157624936472593/ But I plan on getting a new Desk. The reasoning is that I'll be buying a new Macbook Pro soon, and I'd to give that another monitor, so the larger desk will be needed. I run Dual 22″ Monitors. Without them I’d be lost.
