Now, instead of having to constantly switch between windows, I can have two displays, cutting out a lot of needless window switching.
Right now I've got the MLS (Realtor's search engine thingy) and Raleigh Craigslist open on my computer.
If you have an extra monitor, hook it up to the VGA port on your laptop, then right click on the desktop and select "Graphic Options -> Output to ->Extended Desktop -> Notebook+Monitor"
This will create a second desktop which you can use just like your first. For me, I have to do alot of transferring data from .pdf files into online forms. It gets pretty tiring to constantly switch between windows. This solution has definitely streamlined the process. Yay!
