The makers of PhraseExpress I believe also make a product called
MaxiVista. That's a VERY cool tool. It allows you to use another
computer as a secondary display on your system. So if you have an old
laptop that isn't any use any more, you can install MaxiVista on your
main machine, let it create the client program and copy that to your
old laptop. Run that, and the old laptop becomes another "monitor"
for your main computer! You can use up to four MaxiVista systems, I
think, as additional displays. At the place I used to work, I could
have my main system (a laptop) with its internal display, plus with an
additional monitor connected, and then run MaxiVista on another laptop
and use that as the third display. Worked pretty well!
