yeah, it doesn't really work for me (and I don't fully understand your
instructions - clicking on the green button zooms, no option to click on
the left, but maybe that's a 'still on Mojave' problem). I'm also using
Spaces in complicated but viable ways. If anyone creates a way to have
the two screen halves be truly independent, I can get one huge monitor
(much easier on the desk!)
cheers,

You can easily have two apps or windows iPad style. Click on the green
traffic light button and choose the left side then click on another
window for the right side.
You may care to look at an app called Magnet on the Mac App Store
which allows for easy setting of window sizes just by dragging windows
or using a shortcut key.

I'm not;)
The current Intel Mac mini will do three monitors (the m1 only does
two) so I'm thinking that will become an Apple Silicon Model at some
point and perhaps retain that. I assume a Mac Pro (hefty hole in the
budget for that) will support at least three. What I'll have to do is
look into how much I should use adaptors/hubs and how much I should
just also trade up monitors to newer ones. I also have a USB 2
displaylink kit which theoretically lets me run another monitor (so
eg an iMac M1 might support a second monitor but displaylink would
give me the third). It needs a decent CPU - running it on my work
Macbook Air kills the machine.
I don't need great monitors, it's all text, but I need a lot of room
(and my eyesight is gradually failing so I often have them at lower
resolutions than 'recommended'). Most of the time I'm writing in one,
consulting another and compiling/previewing output on the third. One
buge monitor doesn't work, I spend all my time fixing window sizes
(if only macOS could treat a large screen as two, subdivided, iPad
style...)
PS one of the monitors, the one I'm reading this on, is the one I
bought from you - vintage Apple display still going strong!

Just a thought, how are you going to connect three displays to a
MacBook Pro with 2 USB-C ports?

As a misophone I'm fascinated at the prospect of a truly silent Mac.
John Gruber has emphasised that even the 'with-fan' Macbook Pro is
utterly silent. But I need three monitors so the M1 Mac Mini is
sadly not going to work, so am waiting for the big guns (iMac and
Mac Pro) to update.

"...it isn’t making even a whisper of noise.
No Intel-based laptop with vaguely comparable performance to these
machines can possibly match that silence. If you care about noise,
the game is already over."
You cannot believe how long I've waited to read that;)

Good point Tony, thanks.

Apart from the £300 premium you might consider that the Air has no
fan and the mini does. Therefore the mini more resistant to thermal
throttling. Depends on how important portability is for your needs.
