Dual monitors

[WebmasterCorey]

@Corey, is that really necessary?
I have my macbook and a CRT that I use if I want to use photo shop (well the free equivalent), but really? five? I think I would be annoyed at that.

It's actually only 4 monitors, and yes, it's very necessary. The laptop is not connected to the rest, but it is used. Until I can clone myself, I'll have to keep adding monitors to keep up with my workflow

Don't forget what Corey's job is. I'm sure it is very necessary.

The LSU mousepad is a nice touch.

How can you actually set the Dual Monotiors on a Laptop on a Vista System?

most laptops have a VGA or DVI out port so you can just connect a monitor to it.

I used to have 2 monitors when I had a desktop and I loved it. Then I moved to a laptop and got used to 1 again, but I miss having multiple.

With my new job I plan to go back to 2 again. I'm running my macbook in closed lid mode so it acts just like a desktop, then I can get a device that will let me hook up 2 monitors to the macbook and presto! I'll need it for my new position at work

Would it be too embarrassing to admit that I thought Kathy was talking about baby monitors?

My husband has three and slowly working up to four. I am still on one but can see the use of more than one monitor.

The only problem I have with multiple monitors is trying to find the cursor (mouse pointer). When I have to go on my husband's computer I have to figure out where that stupid arrow is to do anything......

It's addicting. I feel like I work in slow motion on a laptop. Every monitor has a purpose.

I need to get our ICT folks at work to unblock the DIS so that they can read this thread. I can see why I struggle with one 15" monitor

If you go to the Control Panel and open up the Mouse program there is a setting to show the mouse cursor when the Ctrl key is pressed. You can also set the mouse to leave a trail/tail which helps to see it when you....

Or just move the mouse around real fast.
