Coworker With Two Computer Screens Not Fucking Around

FORT WORTH, TX—Credible sources within your office reported Monday that the guy on the third floor with two computer screens on his desk is not fucking around. "Amazing—he comes in here, sits down next to me and my one sorry-ass screen, turns on his two screens, and starts tearing it up," ..........

1. Two is not fucking around?

Ha, two isn't even trying

[ExciteBike66]

2. All of my co-workers have two screens,

but the guy in the corner with 3 is not fucking around, that is for sure. Also, his are arranged in portrait orientation, better for killing it, I guess...

[Iggo]

4. Sounds like our Estimating Dept.

Damn kids.

[Skittles]

18. all mine have four

heck, I have 35+ logical lpar consoles minimized on just ONE of them

you people are lightweight!

[ExciteBike66]

19. Heh,

my job is to review and compare documents all day, so I don't really need more than two screens.

Maybe I can convince the boss to give me a third screen for DU trolling!

3. Nerd Power

I've been a nerd all my life and I've been paid professionally for 22+ years. I have 4 monitors on my system. You can be more productive. If your pc is powerful enough, you can organize applications to pop up in different monitors. I do.

5. If I had room for more than two screens I wouldn't have a view

But while I work on the computer, I also have the TV on - on a mount on the wall - and I like to rest my eyes looking out the window at the birds and other scenery on my farm. Two screens are all I can fit and still see the TV and out the windows.

With two screens I will have multiple windows open while researching family records, scanning, editing and organizing family photos and documents, putting the information from the two above activities online, and reading DU. This means my windows are layered rather than tiled, a minor inconvenience.

At the moment my two screens are only 21" - next upgrade I will go to larger - thinking of 25" at least - even though that will cut down on my view out the windows. I might have to reconfigure my desk layout to make it work.

6. Two screens has been standard for me since 2004.

Film/video production, graphic design, and audio engineering. Need all the screen real estate I can get.

7. I'm frustrated when I'm not at work and only have my laptop

I want to pop things onto my second screen.

[Skittles]

14. just get a second monitor, and hook with vga cable

8. Come see me when he has two screens and a stand up desk

That's balling son!

[Phentex]

9. I am the only person at work with one screen...

one of the partners has THREE. The others all have two. I have no idea why they need them but I just go in and do my work and leave.

10. My #2-son is this nerdy.

Not only does he have two screens, he designed and built the whole thing component by component.

[oldcynic]

11. can I borrow him?

[Laffy Kat]

12. Nope. He's all mine.

As soon as he gets home from school on the 11th, I've got a whole list of "to do's" for him, including de-bugging my other laptop.

[Skittles]

13. ? I have four

I use Mouse Without Borders to move up and down / side to side

[Leith]

15. I Am That Nerdy

How the heck did I get anything done with just one screen? I have 2 now, but 3 would be great. Yes, I really do have that much going on at one time - at home on my own computer for fun. At work, switching back and forth between spreadsheets, writing letters, checking e-mail, updating the database, 2 screens is the bare minimum.

[IcyPeas]

16. Well, one screen is just to watch cat videos...... /nt

17. Dual head is the ONLY way to go

I have run dual head at work for about three years. I've been running single head at home, and it's really a pain in the ass - especially when I have to take work home. Last Wednesday I decided to go to Spokane for the day just for the hell of it, and I stopped by a thrift store I like to go to. In their electronics section they had the adapter I needed to set up a dual head configuration...for $3.99. Yes!

Given that, I still want the computer system Michael Douglas had in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps." SIX monitors!
