Document/data syncing is not a problem: it's more "oh right, I haven't upgraded program xyz to v.Next etc.). Being a developer, this is a hard one. Used to love "have laptop, will travel" so the next machine will be a laptop again, albeit on a stand with an external 22" and possibly number three with a USB external monitor extension. Therefore I'm still running triple monitor, but can pick up the laptop and go. That's one thing I won't go back to: non-dual/triple monitor.

I just like SPACE. I don't even care if it's fake space. And shinyness. But actually even if it's the same resolution, I hate squinting because it's all so small. Rob, that's just too much. ;) Ha ha maybe you’re right Bruce. I just like SPACE. I don’t even care if it’s fake space. And shinyness.

That provides enough stimulus to keep my A.D.D. in full swing. Calacanis says the ideal setup is a 30″ with dual 24″s.

Both are 1920x1200 pixels. Do you know you can get a 17″ MacBook Pro that fits exactly the same amount on the screen as that 24″ iMac? Both are 1920×1200 pixels.

I'm hearing more and more about having a 'movable computer' and a 'fixed' computer and sharing your workload between them. Two computers seems a little extravagant and geeky though huh? And Claire, a mummy dog and a daddy dog fell in love... Nah it's my flatmates dad's dog (they now have TWO handbag dogs for us to look after when they are away!!!!!) Yeah laptops are cool.

I had a 17in desktop for the longest time and now that im prepping for a big move i condensed down to a 13in laptop. I find myself designating certain sides of the screen for certain types of windows. Apple/Tab is my best friend. I couldn’t agree with you more, unfortunately ive had to go the opposite way.
