Thanks for all youse's advice. I am now typing on a new 15" Macbook Pro (well , new to me, refurbished) while listening to music on Youtube on a 28" Samsung monitor, after having traded my Macbook Pro 17" in part trade for my daughter's new Macbook Air (her 2008 white Mac was getting pretty bad).
The Samsung will let me get at least 4 open documents in readable size, and the screens on the new Macs are astounding in their quality. Thanks again.
