    might just as well be a simple mode for scaring her (off the lights, on the lights again, and off again.. and funky scary noises trough the speakers, etc.. :))

    i think i need different "fun with my gf" options :)

    Where can I get that wallpaper? Looks nice, goes well with setup.

    (Would be even more awesome if wallpapers were "linked," say, flip wallpaper, and use ultramon to use different wallpapers on different monitors and make it one long green stick uniform from one monitor to another)

    I used to play WoW on the G15 and I needed a second "W A S D" for the healing spells (normaly I walk with W A S D but during a T6 Raid I put my left hand on the G8 G10 G11 G12 to cast without having to move my hand or moving my "mouse" away from the Grid Raid Frame). The new G15 has to less G keys to use them like a second W A S D ...

    What do you play with this G13?

    What are you talking about? You got all the power you need. Those TI-89s practically do the homework for you. And you can write some sweet apps for it.

    It was my best friend back in college.

    you should label everything else with a price tag.

    then you can finish with, "for everything else, there's mastercard"

    I cant see the point in upgrading monitors so often unless one broke. Id like a 3 screen setup down the road for surround gaming. 4 is just total overkill for me and not good for gaming as you would have a divider in the middle of your screen.

    But yeah my setup will be 4 screens too. 3x monitors and 1x HD projector.

    When someone is financially well, they most think of ways to spend their money. One of the ways is to have a quad monitor setup that gets replaced every 3 years.

    why do you care so much?

    if they have the money, then great...let them buy whatever they want to stimulate the economy.

    im sure you have bought things that others thought was a waste..

    colors are my life. and monitor run weaker over time.
    on top of that, as newer tech comes out, the color range are widen, eg, 2407 non HC= 60% NTSC. and 2709 is 110% NTSC.
    it's my job. I'm a photographer and monitors are very important to me.

    now i'm just running 2x 2709.

    no point for me to get eizo, i still have to replace them eventually as they wear out.

    because my monitors are calibrated, any monitor that shifts color stands out from the rest. so yeah. they started to shift color eg, reds no longer a straight line after calibration.

    Nice! :D I've always had a soft spot for the Apple AIO's (or any AIO in general :p)

    I don't LOL, I drool! The 24 inch aluminum iMac is a brilliant looking PC. One thing that actually made me look forward to walking to the main computer lab on campus at uni to work on a late night project: there was always the chance that I'd be able to use the only iMac on each computer lab floor! XD
