When my dad bought a 22" monitor (he is 83 years old and runs it at 1024x768) he graciously gave me his old 19" screen. My video card was already good-to-go for dual monitors so I took the plunge. OK--I know I'm late to this party but 2560x1024 is a lot nicer than 1280x1024!
Being a full fledged geek the shortcoming of dual-ing monitors quickly became obvious. Maximize a window (common noun) and Windows (proper noun) spreads it across all 2,621,440 pixels. Resizing by hand didn't seem the way to go either. You never get it quite right.
Surely I wasn't the first to have this epiphany. I keyed in Google to 'knowledge up.' That's where I found Maxto.
MaxTo is a small Windows program that divides your monitors into regions. When you maximize a window, it will no longer fit the entire screen, but only the region it was maximized into. Your windows are neatly organized into the grid you have defined when they are maximized. MaxTo has been described as a tiling window manager.
