We're talking about several different machines here... The laptop, the computer in the sound booth, and my desktop. None of which have particularly large monitors... The desktop "could" have a large monitor if A) I could afford it or B) I could manage to jury-rig the ancient RssterOps 21" to the AT-case KVM switch... Well, not today. Focusing mostly on the "smallest" monitor in question, an LCD 13" with the leg-stand ripped off: A) Cost is an object. B) Weight is an object, for laptop. C) Space is an object. D) I'm reasonably certain it won't fit in the sound booth 1 RU space. E) I don't WANT Windows in my sound booth. Nor OS X, for that matter. I'm quite happy with the gear I have, actually. Come to think of it, even with the 21" monitor on my old desktop, I still wanted "maximum" code on-screen at any given time. [shrug] I should have left the actual monitor size out of it -- Or just ignored it when it got dragged in. You need to understand that I"m the kind of guy who keeps using the same desktop AMD K6 450 mHz for, oh, 10 years now? because it works fine. I spend 99% of my ssh-ed out to some BSD server somewhere anyway, so why would I blow a fortune on a new desktop? -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
