The only problem I'll have is which desk to put it on - the work desk
where I'm stuck molishing spreadsheets all week, or the home one where
I read Usenet and play Nintendo on it as well. The 20" goes on the
other one, of course. Decisions, decisions...

I manage to combine the two (work and play).

Oh, you mean take the 24" and the gamecube upstairs to the home-office
and plug it in there? Sounds like a fine plan, actually.

Spreadsheets on wide screen are amazing. Scary too .. I can now see all
the columns from when I started keeping detailed accounts to when the
actuaries tell me I'll probably keel over on one screen at once. Like I
said, scary..

Meep. Excel scares me by showing A1:Z50 already. If it showed me the
date of my death, it'd be Luddism time.

Oblivion on wide screen is awaiting the arrival of suitable dual core PC
and 7900GT graphics card.

Dual (and HT!) Xeons@xxxxxx - check.
Fancy-schmancy graphics card - 6600GT. Hmm...
Spare cash for real fancy-schmancy gfx card - errrr, not any more. The
motorbike insurance was this month too. Maybe in a couple of months.

Cheers - Jaimie
