RE: *** ADMIN: EGL vs. <anything> == Off Topic -- REVERSAL

So it's not just your huge fuel guzzling motors an your huge steaks that are ruining the planet, it's your monitors as well!

I'd like to show you someone I know who works entirely in green screen on a 17" monitor. I think he likes to see his desktop at the same time, so he adjusts his 5250 window to about half that size!

Is having more than one monitor the norm for companies in the USA?

I give WDSC sessions at a couple conferences and I ask how many people have dual monitors and quite a lot do. What's funny is not all of them are even using WDSC yet! LOL!

I have a 22" SyncMaster 225BW Samsung (love it) and then my laptop 15"
monitor next to me. I bought mine for $299, but you can get them on sale
at BestBuy for $199.

To re-inforce what David said, the productivity gains can pay off in 6 to 9 months for a new convert. I can have WDSC open with four different LPEX editors and the RSE view in full effect. Here's an example:

I actually upgraded to two 22" monitors for awhile, but believe it or not that made my neck sore because I was going back and forth so often across almost four feet of monitor - crazy :-) I think I will try it again but take a different approach in how I use the two 22" monitors and put the lesser used apps on the monitor that isn't right in front of me.
