its fun if you get 3 monitors because you can play MS flight simulator and make 1 monitor the 1 outboard, 1 be the right and 1 be straight ahead.

I do have enough monitors, just not enough room. Plus all I do at home is surf and mess around with code. Nothing like what I do here. I didn't start doing it here until we bought out a company in 2001 got all of their workstations. We had so many 17 inch monitors laying around myself and a few others tried it to see what it was like. I'll never go back. With all 3 on my desk I feel like Tank from the Matrix on certain days. lol ~~Dan -----Original Message----- From: Ben Doom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 9:43 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: MultiMonitorMess Because I don't have the cash for 3. :-) 1) It's nice to be able to see all the code and the browser at the same time. 2) I can set the little window to something like 800x600 to see what (we consider) low-end viewing. 3) I got bored late one evening and had just backed up my boot partition. Actually, it's already proving useful for debugging (see #1).
