[Hidden-tech] calling all designers

I recently went from a 13" MacBook Pro with an additional monitor to a
27" iMac. The higher processing power of the iMac is certainly a plus,
but I feel a little out of touch with normal monitor sizes- I'm often
surprised when I see how my designs look on a smaller screen. And the
additional space wasn't as helpful as you would think. I can't full
screen any windows, which leaves my screen looking kind of jumbled- a
second screen is much more useful. I think my preference would be to
have a 15" or 17" MBP with a second screen roughly the same size. Make
sure you have a high quality monitor for your second though- the bad
color on cheap monitors can make them impossible to design on.
