Oh, it saves me time ( and $$$ ) when I have multiple monitors. For example,
currently I am working on a project the use PHP and C to access to a
database. I use one monitor for SlickEdit to edit my code, one for my ssh
session to my database server to run the isql ( to run sql commands for
debugging ), one for a web browser to see the result. The last one is for
email and other things. Instead of switching between multiple windows, I can
see all of them at the same time.

I used to manage to get bigger monitor, but you know that for big monitors,
1" increment can increase the price a lot. So instead of getting a 20" or
21" monitor ( to be able to have more "area" to view ) , I can get two 19"
monitors with almost same price and much more "area".
