Ain’t Computers Great
I have always claimed to have just enough computer savvy to get myself in trouble. Most of what I know I learned on the job as a help dest agent for a broadband ISP.
So, when I realized that I could have two monitors on my computer and double my desktop, well I just had to try. You might ask why I would even want two monitors. If you have a huge, sexy, flatscreen monitor then you should realize that many of us are still stuck on monitors that date from the first Clinton administration. And some people still use dial-up. If you’ve ever used Photoshop or some other graphics program that has a bunch of tool windows floating over your work, then you know exactly why.
After doing a little research I came home and checked out my situation. In less than half an hour I had cracked both cases, cannibalized the monitor and video card from an old machine and booted back up. I held my breath and…
It worked!
It is awesome. I’ve been blogging and surfing with windows open on both monitors and its been great. You never know what your missing until you upgrade. I highly recommend adding another monitor to your set-up if you can. Old monitors and video cards can be had real cheap.
I used to work for Philips and let me tell you, some of the display technology is amazing. I was working on the Cineos Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) TV and it was like looking out a window. Without the glass getting in the way!
Congratulations and well done! If only my desk was big enough for two monitors…
