Subject:RE: Two Monitors From:"Richard Smith" <Richard -dot- Smith -at- windriver -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 16 Jan 2002 12:51:42 -0800
I did that for a while, but I'm some kind of freak or something. If I'm not
looking straight at the monitor I don't feel very comfortable. And of
course, with two monitors, you can't be right in front of both.
the setup I settled on is actually the opposite. I have one monitor and all
of the computers hoked up to it. I have a little switching box that allows
me to switch quickly (two keystrokes) between the sparc, the laptop (when
it's hooked up), and the desktop.
