Desktop Manager, a solution for laptop users and those
who have a lot of applications running. Desktop Manager is a pager. It gives you virtual monitors. Right now I have four separate desktops. My browser is on the first, mail the second, photoshop the third, and the fourth is not being used right now. I can easily switch between desktops instead of using Expose.

I don't like clutter, and Desktop manager helps by giving you several "monitors" for your use. I can see where a person with a 12" laptop using this to make up for the small screen.

Here is the web page.

The developer warns that it is Alpha grade software, but I have been using it for a long time with no trouble.

2. It's an excellent piece of software.
I put the pager on my desktop in the bottom left, oriented vertical. I used to have it in the menu bar, but it wasn't as convenient there.
I have added it as a login item just like I did with folding@home.
