I'll show you mine if you show me your's

I love my computer, How many can say that? A few simple free things you can do and NO problems.
I run dual 20 inch LCDs how many do dual monitors? I know if you ever did you would never want just one again.
How about a thread about what we all like?

1. Is that a speck of dust I see next to the computer?

2. You made me feel right at home, best laugh I will have today.

As for the original poster, the set-up is beautiful but sure gives me cause to wonder if I would dare to touch something like that. With my luck, I'd screw it up just turning it on. The whole picture is a work of are. Actually, both are.

The OP represents life as it could be, the second is life as it is.

I'll never get a wireless mouse as the cord is the only way I can find it. :)

3. Depending on what I'm doing

I'm running 4-7 computers at once. Three on one KVM switch-4 if I'm working on one. Not counting my laptop and my portable audio recording studio.

6. fun - using a laptop and a 19 inch screen and my place is very messy

7. My real world desktop looks like it belongs to a mad scientist.

Imagine a high speed collision between a truck full of robots and a van full of junk mail, with a cup of coffee on top. We should never have let robots drive!

But here's my favorite bit of virtual desktop real estate:



It's all the computers I've ever owned and/or written software for in one place. I used to have to run the actual computers, and always had five or six set up in my garage ready to go, but now I don't even have to leave my desk if I want to play an old Atari game or convert an old Geoworks file to a modern format. I've even got emulators for some of my favorite odd-balls such as the TS2068 and some weird Soviet and Chinese knock-offs I've collected.

Debian is my favorite playground. I used to have some tolerance for Macintosh or Windows machines, but nowadays they feel like prisons to me.

8. Wow! Geoworks!

I loved that set of software! I could do anything in the world with it.

That and PCFile. I could conquer the world.

9. Geoworks and DRDOS was a great combination.

The task switching was seamless.

I used Geoworks quite a bit for connecting to the internet or AOL back when AOL was just a toddler and not the monster it became. Cut and paste to GeoWrite was easy.

10. I do remember some use of DRDOS but I was a big user of Geoworks as a GUI

And really miss its simplicity and ease of use on a 286.

Their paint program was great and I used Geoworks to create a catalog that I am still very proud of and would be hard pressed to produce in today's programs such as Photoshop and Publisher.

11. I had two 24" monitors, but went back to one...

Easier and more fun to minimize, and I have a second computer for remote 3D rendering that benefits from having a monitor attached too.

12. I have a second big monitor too

but it's away from the computer, where I can fling myself down on a couch and watch videos.

I use it occasionally when working on A1 size graphics, but generally am happy with the old 17", bought at enormous expense as soon as they became available. What I would like is a large portrait-oriented screen. Remember the old Mac monitors that were higher than they were wide?
