Exactly, which rolls right into having TWO 8.5x11 documents opened side by side, readable, without zooming. > Wider, oooo! More pixels, more workspace, right? > > Wrong. Current large widescreen's are sooo much cheaper than they used to be though. You can get a screen that is bigger in any direction than a 4:3 screen of a couple years ago for a lesser price. > The manufacturers reduce cost. The consumers reduce mental > effort.

As for the coder type, I remember 4:3 monitors that you could rotate 90 deg back then too. The newer wide screens make that approach even better. I think you just need to take the plunge. I wouldn't want to go back having used them for a couple years now. -- m0gely _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
