Re: [PICLIST] [OT] - How many computers we own. Dual head by Bruce Partridge .

Yes, I use 2 X 19" screens on both of my main systems. When I used to write web code, I would have the web page in a browser on one screen, and the dev environment on the other. Change the code and refresh the browser. And when you are trying to align stuff on the web page. There is no substitute for looking at the results while you count stuff out in the code. Now I use it for the code and the debugger. And sometimes the datasheet. I have room for all three to be up at the same time. I thought it was a cool toy when I first did it, but now I really can't imagine going to an office to work with one screen. I am now lusting after 19" flat screens to give me some of my desk back. Oh, and my first computer was a kit from Heathkit that I built. It had a 6502 and could be programmed in machine language (no assembler) or Tiny Basic. It had an LED segment display that could show about 6 characters. I still remember the exhilaration when I first got "CPU UP" displayed. You just have to write one machine language program to realize the amazing power of an assembler :-) Bruce Partridge http://www.rebreather.ca > {Original Message removed}
