I am currently running two clients on my Mac and simply command-tabbing to switch between the two. I was thinking about getting a second monitor to run the second client.
Is there any way of running both clients full screen across two monitors?
Or is the only way to do it just to run both in windowed mode and drag one across to the second monitor?

To Expand, this is not an EVE coding fault, as Astro eluded to on the comment on my prior post the OSX 10.6 system does not allow full screen apps to work accross multiple monitors.
This is a hang over from days gone by before hyperthreading where full screen applications would consume CPU even when minimised to dock.
To get around this resource sink apple decided to encode one full screen app at a time and all other items almost go to sleep as a result.
In todays terms this may seem silly with x64 quad core systems, hyperthreading and all the rest of it, but back then it did make sense.
There are rumours that the new OSX Lion may remove this constraint, but at the moment these are just rumours I believe.
However running EVE full screen on two monitors in Windows 7 isn't exactly a picnic either.
Sighs***

both in windowed mode I'm afraid as full screening on one means the other will minimise.
At least it does on my system.
So there are no fancy programs or terminal commands that will allow this? I’ve read that the way OS X runs full-screen programs makes it impossible to run games across multiple monitors, but I just wanted confirmation here.
