    I just bought a t43 with a sxga screen. It is nice to work with two documents at once, but initially resizing is kind of a pain. It seems like it would be nice to have two more buttons on the top bar by the minimize button. One that would resize the screen in half on the left side, and one that would resize it in half on the right side. Does anyone know software that I can buy to do this?

    Good idea. You're probably best off looking for an extension in FireFox that does this. I don't know if one has been made or not.

    There's something similar you can do w/ Windows.

    Minimize all but the two windows you want to work with. Click the title bar of the window you want on the left (so it's 'highlighted'), then right-click the task bar and choose 'Tile Windows Vertically'.
