Larry, once you get multiple monitors going, trust me, you will never shut the second one off. For trading, multiple monitors are a given. But even for simple tasks they are great. Surfing is great on two monitors. Open Word or Excel on one and IE on the other. I open multiple Window Explorers when doing file or system management. I think it is a great productivity tool.

In fact if you are serious about this stuff, then two isn't nearly adequate. I think Palo Alto Trader has the right idea. For me I use three and sometimes four. This is the monitor that I have my eyes on, I'd like four of them. sgi.com
IMHO, the ultimate monitor and with a great aspect ration for trading.

Just a quick recommendation on ISDN. I would recommend an external TA (terminal adapter) and better yet this combo ISDN TA and 4 port hub. I started with an internal and because of the hassles, ended up with this and it is great. Configuration is EASIER than installing a modem. You just put a network card in you machine, plug it into the hub and go. No other software required and all machines on the network can have seamless internet access.

They can be had on Ebay quite often for around $275.

Good Luck
Dan
