a. that works
b. ewwww ... that has to be the most painful thing on the eyes I've ever dealt 
with ...
   bit drawback: my monitors aren't the same ... one is 19", the other 19" Wide 
... so
   my 19" W looks all stretched out :)

But, at least I know it does work, now just either have to replace one of my 
monitors,
or wait for a more 'split screen' dual head is available (ala Screen 0 vs 
Screen 1) :(

But, thank you for this ...
