Business case for dual monitors

[Peter Neilson]

The case for dual monitors is not unlike the case for SnagIt... It costs 
more to spend all the time and effort trying to justify the thing than 
the actual cost. Last time I needed SnagIt, the boss applied to get it 
for everyone, but it took like two months to get it approved. This was 
  an expense of maybe $300, total! Some of us were about to go and buy 
it ourselves.

I've even seen four months spent on trying to save $10,000, with the 
result being that the equipment "just as good" that was ordered failed 
just after warranty and Yours Truly managed to fix in after only a day 
of downtime, by finding and removing a solder splat from a motherboard. 
Why not have a tech do it? They weren't any good at that sort of stuff. 
Why not have the manufacturer replace it? They were too cheap, and had 
gone (or nearly gone) out of business. It probably would have taken four 
months to get it replaced, if at all. Bite the bullock and get the right 
equipment the first time!
