Buy yourself another monitor and throw and old PCI card in your PC - Dual monitors cannot be beat!

My secondary monitor is an old Samsung 15" CRT running on a 4MB PCI ATI card. I'm seriously addicted to it, and nothing says"geek" like having dual monitors.. :D

You might find this hard to understand but I really don't want anything right now that screams"geek" about me
I'd get a fur coat but if anybody ever threw paint at me I'd have to hurt them, tat's and piercings are out..oh well I'll think of something.

Hmmmm a new Harley would rock,but I'd have to wait till spring to ride it and I'd have to learn how :)

Learning is no problem, but waiting is! I hate having something new and not using it.... You would also have to get some tatoos and re-think that piercing thing.. heheh...
