You should do what I do, Rich, and use both the laptop screen and the external monitor. Plug the monitor into the laptop and place it beside the laptop screen. Go into Display properties, Settings, and enable the second monitor. Position it where you have it on your desk, then click the check box at the bottom that says something like "Extend my desktop onto this monitor." You now have 2048X768 resolution, meaning your desktop is now 2 screens wide. I always keep winamp and AIM windows on the left screen, and maximized IE on the laptop screen.
