New toy at home...

[f700es]

Just got my new 22" wide screen monitor delivered this morning. This one is going home too. Now I can kill people in widescreen action. :twisted:

haha good for you. i'm in love with my 19" widescreen at home, don't need any more than that at home but would LOVE a 22" here at work. :)

[f700es]

Dude, it was $296 with free shipping. I could NOT buy it ;) Or that's what I told the wife :)

[StykFacE]

yeah i don't have one of those wifey things yet. YET. so i still know what it's like to not have someone breathing down your neck about my purchases. it's all me, buddy.

of course i've always heard it this way: The wife is always complaining that there's no money, and the husband is always complaining 'cuz there was. :lol:

((@ least the 'puter here is a dual core P4 3ghz with 2mb of RAM :) ----- man i gotta get them to get me a bigger monitor... ))

Well you could always trip and knock it onto the floor.

"trip-knock-crash" aw damn. Hey I need a new monitor!!! ;)

[f700es]

Well you could always get a 22" for home and take your 19" into work.

Where's the Firefox icon?? :huh:

I use FireFox portable (http://portableapps.com/news/2007-03-03_-_firefox_portable_2.0.0.30 on my flash drive sometimes but I mainly use IE7. Just works better for me ;)

i tried convincing the wife that the office should be our new media room with our new 32" LCD TV, she gave me a stare that wasnt positive to say the least. :D

ive got a 20" at work and a 19" at home, i dont really notice the size difference. however, widescreen would be a different matter i would say.

I cant complain, better than the 17" CRT i started full time cad on back in 1998. :lol:

Hey now, I'm still using a 17" CRT. I'm not old fashioned though, just flat broke.:) Hope to be upping to a 21" or 22" widescreen shortly though.
