It's so sad to see a pirate trying to compensate for a short mizzenmast.

I'm just wondering.When you go there with multiple monitors,is there a staple showing in between them?


Yeah, more is the pity... and always strategically placed so's it makes you wanna upgrade to the premium subscription... without staples. Damn that Hugh Hefner! I mean, it's not like he's broke or anything... and he gets to see all the 'unstapled' centrefolds up close n' personal, like

Great..now everyone has screenis envy.


Oh dear... what have I started here!!! We're told that size doesn't matter, and here's me advocating that bigger is better... and maybe giving lesser endowed folk an inferiority complex. I mean, there was a time when 14" was considered more than adequate, but with all the advancements that have gone into chip and implant technology in recent years, folks who can afford it are able to tote ginormous screenis... up to 36", even.

37in LCD TV that I also use as a monitor. Oops, did I say a 37in LCD TV.


Yes you did... and of course you just had to go one... er several better. And, of course, human nature dictates that somebody 'll come along and say they've got a 37 1/4" LCD TV that they use as a monitor.

I'm not a fan of multiple monitors at all.


Neither am I really... but having a PC set up for multi-media pretty much makes a second monitor essential. I don't watch a lot of TV (cos there's too much 'reality crap on), but I do like to keep up with the rugby league and cricket (Lost and Stargate Atlantis when they're on) and having the dual monitor setup allows me to do that without interrupting what I'm doing on the PC.

Sorry if you've been asked this before, but what are your system specs?


Here ya go...

AMD Athlon 64 x2 6400 @ 3.4ghz.
Gigabyte GA-MA770 DS3 mobo.
4gb of Corsair DDR2 800 RAM.
nVidia 8800GT GPU @ 512mb.
Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Pro
x2 LG DVD RAM Drives
x1 Samsung CD ROM drive
XP Pro/Vista Ultimate dual boot.

What? You're now saying it didn't fall of the back of a truck after all? Yeah, most PC's these day come standard with a 19" WS LCD monitor... well I don't see too many being advertised with 17in ones any more... and I don't think you can buy a new 15" monitor, even if you wanted to.

OI, and annuver fing! Wot be ye doin' orf tha 'Sister'??? Yer s'posed t' be on tha bridge chartin' a course fer Stardock n'gittin' us out o' these 'ere doldrums, wot us've bin in fer months now. Why I bin seein' tha same blasted fish swimmin' round tha same blasted bit o' seaweed orf tha starboard side fer weeks now... so fer barnacles sakes, man, git us under way afore us gits charged wiv loiterin'

I just ordered my new monitor.


I was going to get one just like that... but the missus reckoned we should wait until they get all the black squares off the screen before investing in one.

Congrats on your new monitor...great choice!


Thanks Cynders... haven't seen you around for a while, so it's good to see you again.

btw; when do you celebrate Christmas, just curious?


When I got cash... er, any day that ends with an a n' a y.

With that much screen real estate you could sub-divide and go into the screen rental business.

Long Live CRT!

I'll go LCD when they pry my pair of 21" Trinitrons from my cold, dead hands. I like being able to run at whatever resolution suits me/the game I'm playing. And Trinitrons are ultra-crisp compared to any other type of CRT.

Each to their own, I suppose, but my LCD's are ultra-crisp as well... and I like the additional room on my desktop that LCD's allow. I still have a 19" BENQ CRT monitor and will always keep it as a spare/for when I've finished building another spare rig, but my main rig will always be a flat-screen setup now that I've indulged.

I like being able to run at whatever resolution suits me


You can still do that on a LCD... although the native resolution on my 22" is 1680 x 1050, I can/could run it from upwards of 800 x 600 to the native resolution if I wanted to, not that *say* 1024 x 768 would necessarily display the best.

Now is this screenis envy we're hearing... er, reading here???

I know what you mean, tho!! When I still had my 15" CRT, I wouldn't undress it in the computer room... cos everybody else's was bigger 'n mine.

You know they say that if you have to brag about it, then you're making up for a shortcoming somewhere.   

Some of us are secure enough with our screens so that we don't need to show off.    Besides...everyone knows that it's not the screen size that matters...it's the refresh rate

Yeah, Po has already drawn attention to my shortcoming...

It's so sad to see a pirate trying to compensate for a short mizzenmast.


... but climb on the bandwagon regardless - publicly ask how a pirate ship with a short mizzenmast even gets going - if you must.
