    Hi everyone, With the recent events the last few days everyone is shocked. Therefore I'd like to start a little poll to distract you guys a bit. What is the size of your screen and in which resultion do you like to view your sourcecode? Do you love to have lots of sourcecode on the screen? Take care, Filip

        Well.. My Dell Latitude at work has a 15" Display running at 1400x1050.. I like it a lot.. it's also the only resolution that displays properly.. My home machine has a 21" Trinitron running at 1600x1200 which I like a lot better :-) Jason Gerard, Master of Kung Foo

                Yeah, after building and debugging I hit ESC automatically to get rid of the annoying output bar at the bottom. Regards, Thomas

                    At home: 21" 1600x1200 and a 19" 1280x1024 (dual monitor config) At work: 21" 1600x1200 and two 21" 1200x1600 portrait monitors (three head system) I write medical imaging software that requires a minimum of two displays. I typically run visual studio in full screen mode, the high resolution monitors allows me to have multiple files open at once. Chris Hafey

                            1450x1050 on a 15inch TFT LCD (laptop, which is my sole and only workstation) I love it, I never want anything else unless it is more resolution and a bigger TFT LCD (on my laptop, the bigger screen is probably unlikely). bye for now, Filip. PS: Yes, bigger or better fools being invented is a problem for software developers but the fact that there seem to be ever increasing numbers of them and the fact that the more you tell them the worse it gets does not help much either.

                                I'm a resolution addict, I have to admit: 1600x1024 on a SGI 1600SW (roughly 17.3" 16:9 Wide-Format) at work 1600x1200 on my Dell I8K (15") - and I love it. I started developing software using a bloody old terminal, which was capable of displaying 80x24 characters. The printer in my then company was a rather fast line printer, which continuously churned out listings of sourcecode ... about two feet per year. And this was just to get an overview, because with 80x24 it was close to impossible. Since then, I gradually increased the screen real estate; my SGI gives me about 226x76 characters, when using Visual Studio. Of course I work with several window panes, but being abled to read larger portions of code really improves productivity, at least mine. Regarding UXGA on a 15" display - this is a notebook, where the distance between eyes and screen is much smaller than in a desktop environment - and I'm not visually impaired. I don't use a large font setting (why should I get an UXGA display for that in the first place?) and I'm using 8pt Andale Mono as my standard editing font. Lucky me, I'm abled to avoid CRTs.

                                  1600 x 1200 on my desktop, and now thanks to the Dell Inspiron 8100, the same res on my laptop! My video cards are pretty vanilla since I don't have a need for hardware 3D or dithering effects in the products I build. I use a circa 1998 Gateway 20" tube (made by Sony) that's still razor sharp and appears to have great color. Probably the best investment I made, although my 3+ yr old Pentium-II 300MHz still continues to chug along! /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com
