Mark Watson writes about using a KVM switch to share screens between monitors.
Even better, if you have the desk space, is Synergy which allows the mouse to move between machines (Windows/Linux/Mac). You can even copy text between OS’s!
This way, there is no context switch… you can keep reference/email up on different machines. Most folks have spare screens as the move to flatscreens continues.. why not use them?

I’ve been making movies for ShowMeDo about Nose and PyWinAuto. As a matter of course, I turn off Windows ClearType rendering. It looks pretty, but I don’t think it’s worth the bits.
I recorded the same movie with and without ClearType, capturing to Microsoft Video 1 at 100% (lossless) quality:
The movie had audio, and things get even more interesting when looking at it with GSpot:
So: Cleartype makes the video 264% bigger. Is it really worth it?
