It's easy. Real work is on my laptop screen. Reef Central is on the 24" LCD next to it.

I multitask well. (and usually type in the correct window)

24" LCD - ahh... the percs of being in IS...

Our IS director has a 21" LCD with a surround sound setup.

I have a 9" monochrome macintosh screen and a big magnifying glass. And I had to have requisition forms filled out in triplicate to get it...

a wise man states as true nothing he does
not prove (don't swear to anything you don't know firsthand) and Bull poop baffles brains.

They go hand in hand like Latin lovers on a sunset beach...
