So my friends this is so true Geek-itude. Well OK, if you are a graphics designer then not so much what great screen real-estate, can you imagine having all for hooked up to 24in wide screen…
Opps, got distracted there thinking about it. I’ll have to watch that in the future
or it could be sleep deprivation!
