-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am not sure why MS haters waste so much energy. I program in all but MAC environments.
When you guys have a resume header like mine Software Engineering/Programmer/Developer Engineer in several engineering fields Nuclear Engineering/Physics/Nuclear Plant Operations NASA Software Project Lead/NASA Lead Software Engineer Electrical Engineer/Technician/Supervisor Nuclear Testing/Supervision/Research Equipment Engineering/Maintenance Contract/Research/Development/Administration Semi-Conductor Wet/Plasma/Probe Processing Robotic Systems/Automated Production Systems Personnel Management/Counseling/Directing Nuclear Quality Assurance Supervisor Instructing/Training/Evaluation You will realize the situation dictates the technology. How can you say no to any technology when knowledge of it betters your ability to sell your services. All technology is fun regardless if it is based on shitttty Microsoft business practices. Even Microsoft OS lovers will tell you that Microsoft Business practices suck. All technology has a place, time, and purpose depending who the end user audience is. I will never write a MS Server (Microsoft server = oxy-moron) but I would never write an end user Linux application as a <5% user base is not profitable. If I limited myself I would still be programming on my Apple IIe and Commodore 64. Linux is clearly here to stay but so is Microsoft.

An 800x600 setting is the minimum acceptable setting for many Windows applications, in terms of being able to see all of the screen area without a lot of scrolling around. It gives the best results on 15" monitors. A 17" monitor and prefer the 1024x768 setting. For a 19" or 21" monitor, try the 1280x1024 setting.
