Default Dual Monitors - 05-08-2006, 06:08 PM

Have any of you guys play around with two monitors? I came home and just had the idea of doing it. I find it so much fun. I keep WMP open on the one and browse the interweb on my primary screen (laptop). Or I'll put on some porno and have some AIM conversations on my other monitor biggrin:

Fun stuff.

I use a 19 in and 17 in. I pretty much use the second monitor for IM programs, Rhapsody, Admin programs, during gameplay.

Anybody got any good wallpapers that will stretch across both?

I use Ultramon but I don't have any good acrren savers/ wallpapers. I have a fish tank screensaver on the main momitor and the other one just goes black.

says the guy with the 100 dollar lcd keyboard biggrin:

with crt's like I had it was a huge space hog.

Get a couple lcd's 2 17" = sex.

That being said you need a bigger desk to do it like I had or now have at work.

the little hutch desks and corner units like I know that arkan has = nein
