That looks like a spot in the DuPont National Forest in Western North Carolina i used to frequent a few years ago, but theres probably lots of other places it could be...

Hi. There has been some kind of error. If you're looking for the Codegen S-201 Case review, please look here.
If you're looking for the Church of the Big Plastic Fork, please look here.
Please email the admin at "avatar" at this domain name (bigplasticfork.org) to report this, because you really shouldn't be getting this error ever. Thanks!

Not wide, but it's my desktop.

using a mac is a sin.

yeah....what is going on!?

I do have a question, you vista users with 3 monitors, you guys seem to stretch the task tray aall the way across...is that a vista thing? cause my XP machines dont do that, and when I hook my vista laptop up i dont see that..

More recent Nvidia and ATI drivers have a "span" option in the advanced ATI/Nividia display properties. (Yes, it works in XP) This makes Windows think you've got one 3200x1600 display instead of 2 1600x1200 displays and allows you to set 1 desktop image that will cover both screens. Usually this is also where you find the option for mirroring your display. Downside to the "span" choice is that your full-screen games will also believe you've got a 3200x1600 display and center your game with those wonderful bezels smack in the middle.

Another choice is to use a program like UltraMon along with the "extend my desktop onto this monitor" option in the standard Windows display properties. UltraMon will create a 2nd taskbar on the other monitor and allow you to customize various things including seperate desktop images for each monitor. Running games full screen in this configuration will result in the game seeing the resolution of your primary monitor only.
