And I was hoping to have a single big system up for svr wx season. Now I've gotta go rebuild the home system, add monitors, and convince my wife I've not gone (further) nuts, just to keep up with Richard. Where's it all gonna end?

OK, fine. I'm off to scavenge 15 in monitors from surplus. I can put a radar site per monitor, and start writing my on-demand products webpage. If I georeference 'em who wants the various products?

Oh, and we're also talking about a modified reflectivity and storm relative velocity color ramp to enhance identifying "interesting" features...

Curt,

I have four more blank PCI slots. The PCI cards are
$60.00 each. Monitors are somewhat available for the
taking. The idea is wonderful but horrid at the same
time. They are all running 1400x1050x24. I may back
off to 16 bit color just to unload the memory demands.
Time will tell.

Three is more than enough. Now to get the rest of my
software running and I will be sitting cozy when SVR
WX season arrives.

When I get the desk cleaned up from setting this
behemoth up, I can send a pix out with it all working.

Sweet!  Someday maybe I'll get there too.  Quite a
few SW developers
here at work are running with dual screens.  I have
one 20" CRT and
run 20 virtual screens (5x4) under FVWM2 to keep all
my workspaces
separate.  I see that I have things on 12 of them
right now.
