[Hidden-tech] calling all designers

I use a 17" laptop with a 19" LCD and a 23" LCD attached to it.  I honestly
love the 23" screen a lot.  It's not as big as our 24" iMac, but it gives
good screen size for managing wordpress, illustrator, photoshop because the
tools are on the side.

But I agree, the only way to go is multiple screens.  I am able to run the
3rd with a USB to VGA converter.  Hands down best purchase I've made.  I've
actually got 2 of them and am often tempted to hook up a 4th screen.
