I have the same dual screen setup and I have to say that it really boosted my productivity.
I was looking for another monitor to add but I found extreme difficult to put together a triple monitor setup on a macbook.
Also I mastered exposè, active corners and personalized mouse gestures for quick tasks (Magic Mouse is not bad at all).
One desktop for file upload, one for coding, one for monitoring etc.
Then Terminal.app is my best friend, I use it to script everything: from cleaning my desktop to send mail alerts, ftp, ssh etc.
- andrewf 16y agoDid you try a USB display adaptor on the Macbook? I ask because I've got a Mac mini and am semi-seriously contemplating a third monitor.
- kleinsch 16y agoI use a ViBook (http://www.villagetronic.com/vibook/index.html http://www.villagetronic.com/vibook/index.html) at work in order to have two 22-inch monitors hooked up to my MacBook. Performance is surprisingly good, especially for low-intensity tasks like text editing. Watching videos on it absolutely kills the CPU, but having another monitor for terminals and text editors is great.
- gbrindisi 16y agoNice stuff! Onestly I only found DVI switchers and they were not well supported. Price was also a constraint. Thanks for the suggestion.
- zefhous 16y agoI've been using AirDisplay on my iPad as a third monitor and it's been pretty good so far. I have a similar setup to yours. Works very well for certain tasks like tailing logs and such. http://avatron.com/apps/air-display/ http://avatron.com/apps/air-display/
