GWiz office/dorm for the next 5 months...
1 Attachment(s)
Wife found these 2 commercial grade desks that we picked up today, both for $100. GWiz has owned 10 monitors, but never connected more than 8 of them...now she has. Plenty of room for a printer and plenty of room to spread out for studying.
We're pretty pleased with this arrangement. |
You people have problems. :funnier::funnier::funnier:

How many monitors will she need to eliminate your job?

Oh wow! I can’t even connect a printer to my iPad. Impressive! How long did it take to set that up?

What exactly do you do with all those monitors? I know you use multiple monitors as well, and have for a long time, but what exactly is the function of all those monitors? And it must suck as as you get older and need reading glasses as some of those monitors look to be too far away for reading glasses to focus properly on.

Additionally, I have a remote control session to my notebook on 1 monitor, and I have email (3 clients spread across 2 monitors), I have family chat on Kakao on others....I can go on and on, but at the end of the day, the point of doing this is you never have to hunt for the active window. With this setup, you just turn your head. You place everything where you know it is and it's there. Ping from a child? Just look up. Email from a client...just look left. I NEVER have to hunt. It's ALWAYS there. Multiply those actions times 100 or more and you'll understand why I do what I do. I use all 18 monitors all day, every day. The time savings alone pay for the setup. GWiz subscribes to this lifestyle. |

What is she studying that takes 10 monitors?
|
I know! It’s some sort of wireless set up or something.

When you go down this multi-monitor worm hole, you will understand how important it is. For programmers, it's huge. The time savings I alone get by having 18 monitors might account for 1-2 hours a day in an 18 hour day. Again, the value of that time vs. the cost of the technology is a no brainer. |
I have a mechanical engineer too.

You are completely right with the simple turn of the head for what you want. |
Needs more posters. :slap::leaving:

Our mainframe/COBOL programmers back in the '80s/'90s wanted color monitors to the IBM mainframe. Talk about crazy expensive! I think several thousands of $ back then. Along that time is when the 286 CPU came out. We could buy a 286 PC with an emulator card for far less. The graphic card was EGA/EGA monitor. There was a hot-key to hop between the mainframe and the PC side of things. Alt-Esc. With a mainframe you were only sending screen shots basically anyway. I know some people that dealt with propagating inventory to eCommerce sites found two or more monitors helpful. |

When monitors became cheap, and PCs could support two monitors, I went that route. Now, in my home office, I have a 27" monitor attached to my MacBookPro. I have several apps/windows open, mostly overlapped, so I can access them quickly. My workstation doesn't support more than 2 external monitors, so I don't believe I need a second one. |

One of my colleagues on that project, another contractor, went to the Apple store the next day and bought a MacBook and started to use that for work too. |

Can you launch anything with that shit?

I think the bigger issue is the fact that the computer has been in storage since March. Previous restore point available was March 10th, but seriously Microsoft? You render a computer useless with an update? What would the average Joe do? Go buy another computer (with another OS that you get paid for)? OK...now back to the previous launch. :lol: |
