...when you see the book sale offers at work and say "Ooh, that looks good" about the boxed set of a dictionary, thesaurus, grammar guide, and other language based books.

...When your monitor at work is bigger than your home monitor.



When I told you my new desk was cramped, Bish! , I didn't realise it would be because of the 30 incher sat on it, lol.

when you are talking to your brother, who is sat next door, over msn, an internet forum, and anything but actually going to his room and talking face-to-face!!

Heh I know the feeling, got 3 20" monitors on mine at work, 2 hooked up to my pc, one between 2 personal servers and a set top box

When you can look in a tattoo photo album and go "oh look it's courier bold"

Does that mean you trump me in the monitor stakes? The reason I have two is one is networked, the other is a development PC so it won't get viruses or the need the spyware our IT support dept require.

I know a person who sits just over from me with a 30" dell(much nicer than my HP) a portrait 19" dell and then a 17" for his networked PC.

I pity the people who have to use my networked pc for all their work as it is rubbish.

PS. soddit does DUMP stand for Dennis Useless Media Publishing?

In inches I think I 'beat' you, in resolution you win for now (Until I persuade them to let me get a couple of 24"s to replace the 20" ones)

Did some quick maths and I think I have 5.54 million pixels and you have 5.3 million. 3 x 24" would have almost 7 million, so a major upgrade, which I think would be very greedy and totally unusable.
I find myself only using a very small area of the 30, but I've only just started using it it I may adjust.

4800x1200 on the 20's

I'll be on a 1920x1200 and a 1920x1080 when I get my 24" back from repair for personal use though

I suggest getting win7 if possible, helps so you can have 2 'full' windows per screen in split view which I find helps for doc/spreadsheet/email stuff, but keep a seperate window for programming and debugging in. The RC is really snappy on 64bit too (upgraded last week at work, going to upgrade my home pc soon too)

Damn you and your 5.76 million pixies.

I already have Win7 RC and like it very much, although I only run a single screen atm, I'm thinking about getting a 17" to put in portrait beside the 24".

Maybe after uni, when I have some more money.

Joe

Love the optimism

...when you get into a contest over pixel counting.

...when this tread hits 13 pages and still going.

Ehehehe! When you have a rubix cube tatoo'ed on your forearm.

(I think the coureir bold thing is actually geekier though )
