why do so many people have dual monitors?

I picked up a used Viewsonic G90fb off my local Craigslist for $45, turns out it comes with the ability to do 1360x1024 built in. Unfortunately in a bonehead moment I forgot that when you put 5:4 and 4:3 beside each other, 3 is not as tall as 4. I'll probably sell this one off as I am picking up a used G220fb tomorrow night ($75) which should be much closer to an even match.
