“adding an extra monitor will give your output a considerable boost — 20 percent to 30 percent, according to a survey by Jon Peddie Research.” New York Times

I can attest to that! I love having two monitors, generally I use one for coding/designing/main-task and the other for reference such as googling groups, reading documenation. Also I keep my monitoring activies visible in the right screen. Unfortunatly I have one awesome LCD monitor and one old blurry kludger at work I may purchase one for myself soon. Yes, I like it that much. After all, consider how much time you spend at work - it’s worth the investment!

Once again I have to agree with Scrivs, getting started is the hardest part of web design for me. I’m not sure if it’s that there are limitless options, or I feel like there’s new technology I need to learn before embarking (and there always is) or if it’s just creating the inertia. Perfectionism can be so painful, and it’s weird to try to be less perfect. If only I didn’t have any scruples related to design integrity…I’d just chuck stuff up in Front Page Dreamweaver. I’m the same way much worse with painting - major fear of blank canvas.
