Yes, I use dual monitors, on the desktop.  You really can't with
a laptop, unless it's docked.  I guess laptop usability wasn't
a design consideration for FM9.

But even with two monitors, I don't want to give *both* of them to
Frame.  I have a few other apps I need quick access to, like email
and Web and development IDEs.  So if I wnated to use FM9 in that
environment, I would need *three* monitors.  And a wider desk.  Not 
a possibility, so I use FM7.1 (for legacy docs) and FM8 instead.
