Rowland.
(wondering why he's writing this with the editing window spread over two
monitors[1], which is making typing really freaky)
[1] Four processors, two monitors, gigabit Ethernet, and nearly 900GB
disc space. Overkill? Nah, just about right - and I've got addicted to
the two monitors.
Do you see lines starting on one screen and ending on the other? That'd
drive me mad (if it wasn't already a bit late for that).
I prefer to have several 'virtual desktops' on one monitor, and flip
between them. I've tried the latest "3D" enhancements of the Linux
'graphical desktop' (effectively, a multi-faceted hyper-solid floating in
the monitor "space" and rotating and morphing to present different
dimensions within which the application "windows" appear) but that too was
maddening so I reverted to the old "2D" paradigm. I'm just not ready for
a multi-dimensional desktop; I'm still a bit confused by having windows in
my desktop, not to mention moveable and re-sizable and over-lapping
windows ... who started this crazy nomenclature?
Using more than one computer at a time, now that I can cope with; I was
doing that over sneakernet years ago.
