Well part of my next Upgrade: I am going to add 2 more LCDs for the 360 feel and a 9\" LCD touchpad

as far as the mood lighting with my Digital camera was just an exposure trick with no flash on a tripod

I seem to have a better workout dodging your stupidity than attempting to grasp the weight of your intelligence.

I'm guessing you don't write code? I had 15 applications running at one time today, I need two monitors. I feel so trapped with just this one.

I can't live without two monitors for work. I can get by on one for my home pc, but two is better.

Personally, I think Bubbalou's desk is cool and I only wish I had the self organization to be half that tidy...

So I cling to what Einstein has been credited as saying: "If a messy desk is a sign of a messy mind, then what is an empty desk a sign of?" :D

No, I don't do code writing or anything related. After seeing what some people use two monitors for, I'm a bit more understanding now. My in-law did some code writing and also creates/mixes music for his hip hop dancing classes and other entertainment.

I just started using two monitors in the last 6 months when work upgraded me to a laptop. And it has increased my productivity remarkably.

I work with mainframes, and now I can have NoteTab open on one monitor, and my mainframe session on the other, and be watching both, or doing cut and paste between the two VERY easily. Not to mention the ability to read a list of files in an email on monitor 1 while checking the files existence and content on monitor 2. Also, having two different mainframe sessions opened on two monitors simultaneously for easy comparison or cut/paste transfers.

Two monitors ROCK!
