Wide screens are nice when you are doing IDEs or Visual Modleing tools. Usually, on the left or right hand side, there is an explorer pane that is used to display different kinds of hierarchies or tables. The extra width allows you to have the explorer and a decent sized diagram on the screen at the same time. -David ========== Robert L Krawitz wrote:

I've noticed many people at work with their laptops, and they seem to have an LCD which has wide screen dimensions. This might be fine for viewing DVDs, but having not used one, I'm not sure how I'd feel using one for daily work. Its not like you can rotate the LCD on a laptop to "landscape mode" like you can with some other LCD monitors (which seems like a nice feature!).
I'm not a fan of widescreens myself. For things like text editing it's useless, and it's none too helpful for web browsing either. _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
