Apple indeed does it very nicely, albeit with a couple of glaring bugs that wern't resolved last time I used it. The biggest is if you plug into one monitor that's farily high rez (say a 21" CRT @ 85Hz 1600x1200) then you go somewhere else and plug into a lower rez one, it doesn't compnsate and gives you a scrambled pic, I seem to remember I had hell resolving this. Apple's moniters themselves are now in dire need up an update though. There is talk of one soon.
I haven't used it since panther. My tri-monitor setup was OSX.
I find for learning, reading from a screen is hell but for reference material, data dictionaries, code snippets etc...invaluable. Anyone that works in finance has multimoniter setups as well, when you've got 200+ live reuters feeds you need it.
