One per computer, that is. On rare occasions I have to use two laptops side-by-side because certain moronic CAT-tools don't allow me to open two files at once.

One for actually conducting the translation and another attached to a printer/scanner, which can also be used as a backup in the event of technical problems arising with my main computer.

...but sometimes I plug my big monitor to my laptop and use (technically) two (but actually still one, since I disable laptop's screen), especially when I work on subtitling or proofreading.
I did work with two monitors in the past and I really loved it. It is really great to have a lot of space when you are working with 3-4 applications.

One for the text I work on, the other one for all my research work (Internet, dictionaries...). I also tend to proofread using two screens.
Have a nice Sunday

| One is enough | Sep 4, 2011 |
One monitor is enough so far. Actually, however, I want to buy a bigger one, replacing my 15 inch monitor.

Would not go back to one, it's just more efficient with two, I don't have to lower windows as often and it makes comparing texts soooo much easier.
Been working on a laptop with 1 screen for last 2 months and how do I miss my dual set-up.

on one computer. Two 32" monitors for main DTP and a third for ref material.
It is fantastic not to keep having to switch between windows as I frequently have a few tasks running at the same time

I use one desktop computer, with many windows open at the same time, but I try to close them as soon as they become useless, according to the recommendations of my computer technician.
I also turn on my laptop when I need a specialized translating dictionary which I could install only twice from a CD-rom. I installed it on my desktop and on my laptop.

Then it crashed on my desktop when I moved out. I have not been able to use it on my desktop PC since I moved out, while all my other programs have kept working properly!
For backups, I use an external hard disk. I used to do backups several times a week. Now I have set an Outlook Calender reminder to do it every week-end, when I have more time (less emergencies). ▲ Collapse

| One, but I need a second one | Sep 5, 2011 |
Since I switched to Windows 7, I've been having a lot of trouble stabilizing the open windows. They seem to have a mind of their own. In this regard, I was must happier with Windows XP.
The screen is 22". I couldn't work with anything smaller since I've gotten used to being able to see two full pages in readable type at the same time.

Two, sometimes three monitors. I'm a pathological multi-tasker.
