Default Use of second DVI on Monitor?

Hi,

I have noticed that 24" Dell 2408WFP monitor has two DVI input connection.
What is the use of the second one?

I use both DVI inputs. One for my desktop computer's DVI connection
and one for my MacBook's DVI connection. There are other uses for it,
that's just one example.

Thanks for the replies and the URL,

So basically it is an extra extension to avoid pluging/unpluging second
device. I thought it was for some sort of special dual monitor setup i.e.
connecting two monitors to each other directly by extra DVIs.


Thanks
