Access to Skyrim
The immediate prompt for my changeover to dual-monitor was this: I wanted to be able to use my Skyrim database at the same time that I was playing Skyrim, so that I could enter data and make decisions using the database in real time.
I will be able to do this, but it isn't going to be as clean as I'd hoped. To make it work, I have to run Skyrim in windowed mode (maximum resolution). After starting it, I have to hit C-A-D and bring up the Task Manager; from that point on, I have to use the TM to switch between Skyrim and the database.
Oh, well, I can live with it. The gains are definitely greater than the inconveniences.
