To impress the Geek-Babes like Baffled2! 🙂

in 2001 I grossed about 10k between sweeps wins and rewards programs. I have one helluva downline on several programs, on milesource and search cactus I make money while I'm asleep 🙂


I also belong to a private group on yahoo, who's sole purporse is to scout out new sweeps
and rewards programs for us to make money at. We took down big,big money collectively last year at sites like sharedgreetings, cstakes and greetnwin.

Man! I thought all those things were dead since too many ppl rip them off....
 
I will never go back to a single Monitor again. I had one of my 19's go out on me and just having one really sucked.

Hmm....do you need to be active on the comptuer to make money off them? If not, I could easily market off some of my other boxes.....where can I get more info?
 
dual 19" Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 900u's on my XP1800+ and a 15" LCD on my 550... my desktop let's see how many hits I'll get 😛

edit:

whoops, forgot to say what I use it for... when I'm just messing around, say browsing OT and what not, I have one monitor displaying IE windows, and the other for my putty session to my headless linux box running BitchX and AIM 🙂 I have my other computer up top running AIM, ICQ, and Outlook. When I'm actually doing schoolwork, I usually have one monitor running my development environment (usually some putty sessions or xterm windows and some shells, or VC++ or MS Word) and reference material such as my buddies on AIM, IRC, and you guys on ATOT 🙂 codegurus.net helps sometimes too 😛

edit2:

here's the stats before I posted on ATOT...

http://www.modemboy.net/desktop.jpg 13 (0.7%) 4560k (19.7%)

I'll check later on tonite to see how many of you actually went 😛

Holy sh!t... what do you use them for? man... I wish I have this setup at my office... 🙁
 
I currently have two 21" 0.24 DP trinitron Dell monitors setup in a "V" shape position, angled against each other.

I'm going to add a third, and have a triple monitor setup, in a U Shape.

Each monitor supports dual inputs, with their own front facing switch to jump between different VGA inputs.

I also have a 4 port KVM switch

i dont do anything special with htem though, i'm only using one currently
hehehe
 
I can watch TV on one and a DVD on the other.
At the same time.
The joys of dual monitors and dual processors.

I feel so impotent when I'm at work with one lousy 15" flat panel 🙁
 
at work my email is always up on my 19" and i do all my coding on the other, at home my chat windows and email are up on the 19 and atot or games up on the 22"
 
I've had dual displays for about 3 years. Always put web browsing on main screen and AOL / ICQ / MIRC on second screen

Then I moved up to a triple monitor setup, but i didn't know what to do with the 3rd...so i'm back to two 🙂
 
i use it so that i can watch movies on my secondary monitor and surf/chat/program on the primary. everyone who uses dual display to watch movies, use this program movieplayer2002 hehe, shameless plug. 😉
 
Can you watch TV on that movieplayer2000?

because that was the only that was stopping me from getting a dual display.
 
I tried movieplayer2002... but it doesn't work for me- I run dual monitors on an ATI Radeon 7500, so Windows thinks I'm running a single monitor at 3200x1200 =\ oh well 🙁
 
I have 3 monitors I can use, but I usually only use 2. If I am coding something I usually have specs, so I put those on one monitor and my IDE on the other. Far more productive with 2 than 1. The third monitor is really for my wife to use with her computer, but sometimes I use it as a 3rd monitor. I hate resizing windows to get everything to fit, and flipping back and forth betweeen windows is a pain. I can also use one monitor as a TV.
 
For those of you with dual displays, what video cards are you using? if using, 1 pci, and 1 agp.
 


<< For those of you with dual displays, what video cards are you using? if using, 1 pci, and 1 agp. >>



nVidia GeForce 2 GTS 32MB AGP
3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 PCI

-soon to be-

nVidia GeForce 4 Ti 4600 AGP w/ nView (I have a signed slip from the manager that I can pick one up @ BB for $129 once they come in stock.....hope they come back in stock & the manager isn't pulling a fast one that way though).
 
Like the idea of writing a research paper with an internet source opened up in the other window? How about AIM messages opening up in a screen that's separate from your "work" screen.
 
Card: Matrox G550
Monitors: Dual 19" samsung & panasonic

Uses:

* Open up multiple images
* See one large image at once
* email in one window
* chat in the other
* browser in one window, MS Word in the other
* video playing in one window, browser in the other
* more space for applications that have toolbars (photoshop)
 


<< bUnMaNGo - pardon my ignorance 😱 but why 2 mice? >>



I imagine he has 2 machines. One with 1 monitor & one with 2 monitors. In that case it's not really '3' monitors.
