Hi, I'm a web developer and I've always wanted to have a dual (external) monitor setup. My T61 has only one VGA port which I already use for my Samsung LED LCD.
What is the best way to do this? Someone on our local buy and sell site is selling a port replicator, will this help? Or should I look for a mini-dock? Thanks in advance!

The Thinkpad Advanced Mini-Dock will serve you nicely here. It has VGA and DVI ports (the Essential Port Replicator only has VGA).
Current: X220 4291-4BG, T410 2537-R46, T60 1952-F76, T60 2007-QPG, T42 2373-F7G
Collectibles: T430s (IPS FHD + Classic Keyboard), X32 (IPS Screen)
Retired: X61 7673-V2V, A31p w/ Ultrabay Numpad
Past: Z61t 9440-A23, T60 2623-D3U, X32 2884-M5U

I was thinking of using the VGA port on the laptop for one monitor and the VGA port on replicator for another monitor. But I guess that won't work. Thanks for the tip on the advance mini-dock.
