Actually, he's quiet amenable to getting me a new workstation.he really
want's the 19 monitors to deploy to the general population of users rather
than the 23's he's getting in now.  He thinks that he can get me a brand new
workstation sometime next week.  And eventually I'll get a 2nd 23
monitor..

I have to agree, certainly the best money I have spent Probably ever!

In theory I get unlimited corrective surgery too, but there is only so much 
they can laser out of your eye.  The only downside id when the painkillers wear 
off in the middle of the night, and maybe the realisation of what it is your 
smelling during the actual op.  Still all that said if I needed it I could go 
back more.

I do sometimes get little a funny matrix/grid affect when looking at things at 
short range when the light is not very good - say when trying to make up a 
patch cable in my loft - that is kinda weird.  Real benefit is being able to 
wear sunglasses in the summer, cycling glasses when I am out on my bike, not 
faffing about with glasses when putting on a motorcycle helmet, and not having 
your glasses mist up in the rain/get wet, etc and just being able to see when 
you get up in the morning (and not forgetting to have to take contacts your out 
when you go to bed after a beer t many).

 I had the same op in the UK about 3 years ago Was expensive but 
 certainly the best investment of my money.  I had to stop wearing 
 contacts due to scaring on the inside of my eye lids, so was back to 
 glasses which was a pain.  Fortunately I don't suffer from the halo 
 affect at all, although it was suggested I might.

 Yeah, it's great.
 
 I still have some slight halo effect for high contrast scenes (i.e.
 lights at nite time), but the tradeoff is well worth it.
 
 Not having to futz with glasses... not having the tired eyes after 
 the contacts had been in my head for 12+ hours, etc...

  I got lasik done when I was 41. That was, uh, some number of years
 ago.
 
  I was seeing at distance - blurred a bit by the drops and the 
  protective plastic lenses - on my way home. No, I didn't drive, but 
  being able to see the road signs on the way home added to the 
  blurriness, if you catch my meaning. It's something I hadn't been
 able
  to do since the 5th grade.
 
  Yes, that was a long time ago, and as a relatively early adopter, it 
  cost a lot of money. I've never regretted it, despite the fact that 
  I needed reading glasses immediately thereafter.

(CMD windows, emails, etc...)

 

With a decent resolution monitor, and ClearType enabled, there are very
few cases where I find I need to use the Office Apps or a browser at
100% scale. I find 75-80% works well, and I can usually get a full page
in there. 

 

Ditto for CMD windows I permanently crank the font down to a ~9
point(as well as go green-on-black) and can get a couple of 50-line tall
windows rolling without sucking up all the screen real estate.

I changed my 22 to portrait and have never looked back.  PDF files,
page at a time and readable.  Websites, no scrolling to get to the

1024 horizontal resolution, you won't have to scroll left or right.
And, I find I prefer a long screen than a wide screen when remoting into

Yeah, I have to tell you, I had no idea what the movie was about,
either, but my wife, who's so far outlived all the doctor's expectations
after four surgeries for a malignant brain tumor, really wanted to see
it. Had I KNOWN what it was about, I would have 1) Waited outside the
theater while she watched it or 2) Brought four Kleenex boxes for me, or
3) probably both.  Nonetheless, she loved it, and I couldn't stop
crying. But then, I cry at insurance commercials, too... lol

 what it was about, I would have 1) Waited outside the theater while she
 watched it or 2) Brought four Kleenex boxes for me, or 3) probably both.
 Nonetheless, she loved it, and I couldn’t stop crying. But then, I cry at

With a decent resolution monitor, and ClearType enabled, there are very
few cases where I find I need to use the Office Apps or a browser at
100% scale. I find 75-80% works well, and I can usually get a full page
in there. 

 

Ditto for CMD windows I permanently crank the font down to a ~9

windows rolling without sucking up all the screen real estate.

Two words: protrait mode.

 

I changed my 22 to portrait and have never looked back.  PDF files,
page at a time and readable.  Websites, no scrolling to get to the
bottom (or significantly less).  Since most websites are aligned for
1024 horizontal resolution, you won't have to scroll left or right.
And, I find I prefer a long screen than a wide screen when remoting into

Two words: protrait mode.

I changed my 22 to portrait and have never looked back.  PDF files, page at
a time and readable.  Websites, no scrolling to get to the bottom (or
significantly less).  Since most websites are aligned for 1024 horizontal
resolution, you won't have to scroll left or right.  And, I find I prefer a
long screen than a wide screen when remoting into servers.

I prefer to shrink the scale on most docs and have _TWO_ side by side
pages.

 

Well, actually, that's a lie. I'm almost always bouncing between
multiple windows, so when I'm editing I actually have a full height doc
(@ 80%)on the right and then room on the left to get at other things
(CMD windows, emails, etc...)

 

With a decent resolution monitor, and ClearType enabled, there are very
few cases where I find I need to use the Office Apps or a browser at
100% scale. I find 75-80% works well, and I can usually get a full page
in there. 

 

Ditto for CMD windows I permanently crank the font down to a ~9
point(as well as go green-on-black) and can get a couple of 50-line tall
windows rolling without sucking up all the screen real estate.

I changed my 22 to portrait and have never looked back.  PDF files,
page at a time and readable.  Websites, no scrolling to get to the
bottom (or significantly less).  Since most websites are aligned for
1024 horizontal resolution, you won't have to scroll left or right.
And, I find I prefer a long screen than a wide screen when remoting into

I managed to justify it to my boss by telling him that I needed to keep an
eye on:-

SCOM 2007 console
Citrix AMC
Dell IT Assistant
VMWare Infrastructure Client
IBM SAN management tool
Outlook

all without occluding each other. He obviously doesn't know a) that you can
consolidate a lot of this through the SCOM console, and b) I have a 32
monitor on the wall that displays everything in the SCOM console anyway

Still - it looks cool, and I am going to spend the next month trying to

I got lasik done when I was 41. That was, uh, some number of years ago.

I was seeing at distance - blurred a bit by the drops and the
protective plastic lenses - on my way home. No, I didn't drive, but
being able to see the road signs on the way home added to the
blurriness, if you catch my meaning. It's something I hadn't been able
to do since the 5th grade.

Yes, that was a long time ago, and as a relatively early adopter, it

I think I officially became an old fart a couple of weeks ago when I finally
installed Office 2007.  The font color in most of the office applications is
way to light for me to seeit's rather annoying and a co-worker who is
the same age as I am did the same thing and he's complaining about the same
thing, so I don't think it's just me.  Why is the font color and size setup
like that Microsoft?  And now with this new monitor it's even worse...

I've got an appt. next week for a preliminary exam for lasik eye
surgery..

  I find 75-80% works well, and I can usually get a full page in there.

Yup, you are. Or a wus or is wimp the feminization of wus?

I thought about Lasik but at my age, and the fact that since I live in a rural 
area the cost is higher, I'd never see a payback (other than no hassle).  Also, 
no way I'd pay the money and still have to wear any kind of glasses.
I'll just stick with my contacts.  I was lucky enough to be able to adapt to 
bifocal contacts, too.

 I got lasik done when I was 41. That was, uh, some number of years ago.
 
 I was seeing at distance - blurred a bit by the drops and the 
 protective plastic lenses - on my way home. No, I didn't drive, but 
 being able to see the road signs on the way home added to the 
 blurriness, if you catch my meaning. It's something I hadn't been able 
 to do since the 5th grade.
 
 Yes, that was a long time ago, and as a relatively early adopter, it 
 cost a lot of money. I've never regretted it, despite the fact that I 
 needed reading glasses immediately thereafter.

  I got lasik done when I was 41. That was, uh, some number of years
 ago.
 
  I was seeing at distance - blurred a bit by the drops and the
  protective plastic lenses - on my way home. No, I didn't drive, but
  being able to see the road signs on the way home added to the
  blurriness, if you catch my meaning. It's something I hadn't been

  Yes, that was a long time ago, and as a relatively early adopter, it
  cost a lot of money. I've never regretted it, despite the fact that I
  needed reading glasses immediately thereafter.

I had the same op in the UK about 3 years ago Was expensive but certainly 
the best investment of my money.  I had to stop wearing contacts due to 
scaring on the inside of my eye lids, so was back to glasses which was a pain.  
Fortunately I don't suffer from the halo affect at all, although it was 
suggested I might.

Yeah, it's great.

I still have some slight halo effect for high contrast scenes (i.e. lights at 
nite time), but the tradeoff is well worth it.

Not having to futz with glasses... not having the tired eyes after the 
contacts had been in my head for 12+ hours, etc...

Yup, I'm probably a good candidate, eyesight for distance hasn't changed
in several years and I only have a slight astigmatism.  It's nice to
hear from others that have had it done.  I'm only considering it now
because I'm starting to need reading glasses some, and I don't want
bifocals.  I've never had any kind of surgery, so the thought of
something being pointed at my eyes and I am going to be semi aware of

 certainly the best investment of my money.  I had to stop wearing
 contacts due to scaring on the inside of my eye lids, so was back to
 glasses which was a pain.  Fortunately I don't suffer from the halo

Understand the squeamishness. But, it's really a pretty easy
procedure, and the doctor will explain it thoroughly, if he/she is
competent.

Get good recommendations, and you should be fine.

It's probably gotten better and easier since I had it done so long

 I had the same op in the UK about 3 years ago Was expensive but 
 certainly the best investment of my money.  I had to stop wearing 
 contacts due to scaring on the inside of my eye lids, so was back to 
 glasses which was a pain.  Fortunately I don't suffer from the halo 
 affect at all, although it was suggested I might.

 Yeah, it's great.
 
 I still have some slight halo effect for high contrast scenes (i.e.
 lights at nite time), but the tradeoff is well worth it.
 
 Not having to futz with glasses... not having the tired eyes after 
 the contacts had been in my head for 12+ hours, etc...

I do suffer from dry eyes now way more than before the Lasik, but that

I need to have it done in my right eye. I am kinda worried about it because 
when I tried to wear glasses I guess it messed with my brain since it was 
used to everything being off balanced that I felt really sick after wearing 
them for only a few minutes and it took hours for that feeling to go away. 
When I get lasik I guess I will need a patch or something so that I can give 
my brain a rest? I'm really worried about having a few days of feeling

Subject: The Duh Question of the Day 8/4/09

So yesterday afternoon just before I leave for the day, the
HelpDesk/Desktop lead comes to my cube and asks this question:  Would
you be willing to give up one of your 19 monitors for a new 23
monitor?Well DUH.

So now I get to setup my new 23 Samsung monitor.

Yup, I'm probably a good candidate, eyesight for distance hasn't changed
in several years and I only have a slight astigmatism.  It's nice to
hear from others that have had it done.  I'm only considering it now
because I'm starting to need reading glasses some, and I don't want
bifocals.  I've never had any kind of surgery, so the thought of
something being pointed at my eyes and I am going to be semi aware of
what is going on really freaks me out.  I'm a wimp, I can't watch when I
give blood or have to have blood drawn for a blood test, I have to look
the other direction.

I think I officially became an old fart a couple of weeks ago when I
finally installed Office 2007.  The font color in most of the office
applications is way to light for me to seeit's rather annoying and a
co-worker who is the same age as I am did the same thing and he's
complaining about the same thing, so I don't think it's just me.  Why is
the font color and size setup like that Microsoft?  And now with this
new monitor it's even worse...



I've got an appt. next week for a preliminary exam for lasik eye
surgery..

wondering how his neck didn't hurt, since he'd have to tilt his head
back so often, to see the top monitors ... or I would, but then, I wear
bifocals, having officially become an Old Fart in the last couple years

Apparently so.

I attached the test to an earlier reply to your message here as well,
and it was also swallowed.

Odd. Very odd.
