Oh, man. I remember multi-monitor shenanigans just for the lulz. They were fun. (They were problematic in the CRT days because the magnetics would fight eachother sometimes, but even that was interesting to sort out.)
And I remember the Radius "full page" monitor's introduction, and even saw some in the wild a couple of times. They always seemed bizarrely fit-for-purpose, and some part of me really wanted to score one for longer than I'd like to admit -- especially once PDFs became commonplace.
But your own story just prompted me to hold an 8.5x11" piece of paper up to the 24" 16x9 display on my desk -- a display size that I've been using for well over a decade now.
To my surprise, it can display more than two 8.5x11 full-page documents at one time.
And somewhat to my disdain, I've realized that I have never once actually used it this way.
