Are you using dual monitors? If so, how?
Just curious how many of you are running two monitors at your workstation.
For example: Scripts, Word docs on one monitor, Studio '09 on the other? Or is the layout more based on your active app...
Primary monitor -
Most everything that I need to touch frequently throughout the day: Email, Articulate, Adobe CS5, video editing app, the stuff I'm just knee deep working in.
Second monitor -
Stuff that I only need to come back to every once in a while, or need for a distraction every now and then 
: Calendar, tunes, news, facebook, Articulate community, twitter, etc.
Will also heavily use the second monitor as folks have already mentioned - comparing docs, copying and pasting and the sorts. It's also nice for website authoring (dreamweaver on one screen and the site on the other).
I read somewhere that having dual monitors makes a person 33% more productive, but I'm not sure if there are any concrete studies done on the subject
