I'm getting into the foreign exchange market and the more information one has at a glance the better one's trades will be. So I decided to go multi-monitor.
G-D D-M!

I've got my Powerbook with an attached monitor and another PC beside it with one montior. Once I get another video card there will be another. My new setup and 24 hours news on the TV behind me is like total information overload.
Now I just gotta get another gig of RAM for the Powebook and I'll be in business.


So if there is a moral to this post it is to get as much as screen real estate as possible.

I agree.

More screens = Easier workflow in digital content creation.

Can't wait to have money and have some dual 21" LCDs :D

Multi Monitors FTW!

I've got a Hyundai L90D+ (love it) and my old 15" dell Trinitron display.

The old CRT will be replaced with a newer 21" Dell CRT as soon as I can - I've go the new monitor but its at home and I'm at school and there isn't an easy way to get it down here.

Like circling vultures!

You guys might get some action later on tonight. It's really not much to look at, the monitors are kinda ghetto, definetly the first to be upgraded once I start making money.

I'd love a 5 21" LCD setup. :D

Nice! I'll have to try it out.

Laptop + desktop connected to DVI of 2005fpw + mythtv box connected to vga of 2005fp2 and via svideo to a tv. I'd love to just be able to use my wireless mouse and keyboard for it all.

God watches me do number two.

I'll curse the heavens and then laugh when the sky electrocutes me.

God damn, god damnit.

Or maybe he did it out of common courtesy to those who who do dislike such language. Unheard of, I know.


edit: Or maybe not. :laugh:
