| WeDoCreative | for online productivity, the one thing I would say you need more than anything else - is as big a screen as you can afford. |
| kasnj | agrees! |
| btocher | says | and no Plurk  |
| Maarmamute | says | I run two widescreen monitors and it really helps for all the document editing and then graphic design development |
| Nikitos | different people have different needs. For me 23'' is optimal |
| WeDoCreative | says | i've got the 30" apple display and it's actually phenomenal what i can do without having to change windows & so on. |
| jboeckman | says | yes i like the 2 wide screens approach personally |
| Sir Proudgamer | is | working on dual monitor set up |
| MichDdot | so that is my problem .... |
| WeDoCreative | says | oh without a doubt the 2 widescreens is awesome. But i reckon 4 30inchers would be even better. I just reckon the bigger the better...within |
| WeDoCreative | says | reason of course |
| steaprok | i have used a 30" , but now use 2 24", and its the best config so far |
| Sir Proudgamer | One of my friends would project onto his wall . . . I wonder hom many inches that was |
| DebInAustin | says | I just need to turn off Plurk and my e-mail. |
| WeDoCreative | says | talespinner - absolutely wonderfully. But now, i would honestly say - I would love another  |
| LidiaAnain | says | now I know how the big boys play and the toys they use. |
| Rebecca | says | I agree. I have a 24" & find it does help to have more screen space! |
| Sir Proudgamer | now that I have 2x 29" I want two more  |
| Sir Proudgamer | wishes | his rig at home was half this sweet |
| DebInAustin | says | I do use "spaces" and "expose" a lot on my mac and appreciate that a lot. |
| Sir Proudgamer | My home PC is 1 29" |
| WeDoCreative | says | sirproudgamer...i know the feeling DebInDenver - i love the features too, but the switching between spaces starts to drive me potty |
| DebInAustin | says | yeah, I only use it in certain situations and usually when I don't have to do it a ton, but more to keep a project open while working on |
| DebInAustin | says | another one. |
| WeDoCreative | says | oh btw, if you haven't tried fluid yet (fluidapp.com) i highly highly recommend it. Particularly if you prefer safari over FF |
| DebInAustin | says | I am definitely in the "20 or more browser tabs open" crowd. That's probably a little low for me...I use Flock |
| WeDoCreative | says | oh, then check out tabgroups firefox extension. paranoid-androids.com/tabgroups/ . You'll need to do this first though...: |
| WeDoCreative | says | www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2008/02/14/make_your_extensions_work_with_the_firefox_3_beta-2.html |
| DebInAustin | says | on fluid, I like the MenuExtra SSB. I had a Firefox plug-in similar to that when I used FF. Haven't tried to install to Flock though. |
| DebInAustin | says | my favorite app, google notebook, is not working on Flock or FF3. That has really affected my productivity. What I liked about it is that |
| DebInAustin | says | it is built into the bottom of your browser and just pops up when you want to add notes, clip, etc., so you don't have to go to a separate |
| DebInAustin | says | tab or desktop app. Sigh. The Flock people told me that the FF folks are working on it... |
| WeDoCreative | says | are you sure there isn't a way to use it with ff3? I'd put money on it that there is |
| DebInAustin | says | I have both loaded on my computer and have tried both. Neither works. I was ready to give up flock over it b/c it's such a big part of my |
| DebInAustin | says | work- I do a ton of research. And am a big clipper- who isn't? I haven't tried it with Safari though. |
| DebInAustin | says | I even uninstalled it and re-installed it. I put up questions in the google groups area and the only responses I got were spam- big surprise |
| WeDoCreative | says | hey Debs, but I just tried installing it and it seems to be working fine with ff3. What sosrt of errors do you get? |
| DebInAustin | says | of course...it works for you! This is so hard to explain, and I can't get a screenshot of it, but when the notebook pop up is open and I use |
| DebInAustin | says | FF scrollbar, the image of the top of the notebook menu replicates itself many times running up and down as I scroll. So it looks like there |
| DebInAustin | says | are 20 little notebooks stacked up. |
| DebInAustin | says | you know, that gives me an idea. Maybe it's the amount of stuff I have saved in the notebook. I probably have 40 notebooks. That doesn't |
| DebInAustin | says | seem right though, and I have no knowledge of programming to know what kind of solution might work. |
| DebInAustin | says | I am going to delete some of the excess stuff and see if that helps. |
| WeDoCreative | says | hmm, that is strange - If you're really desperate to use it. I would disable all your current ff extensions ...add google notebook and then |
| WeDoCreative | says | add the other one or two at a time |
| WeDoCreative | says | it's gotta be a conflict with another extension |
| DebInAustin | says | yeah. The Flock support person, who is awesome, thought it might be StumbleUpon. But, I don't have that on FF3. I took it off Flock though. |
| DebInAustin | says | I think I uninstalled GN at the same time and then re-installed it. I don't have very many extensions on Flock- maybe 3 max. |
| WeDoCreative | says | that is really strange - maybe reinstall both? |
| DebInAustin | says | yeah, I was thinking of that. |
| DebInAustin | says | hey Zee, bad manners! I forgot to say thanks for all your great advice! And research! Thank you! |
| waveydavie | asks | what's the advantage of two screens and how does it work? Still using a 19" but have acquired a 23". |
| WeDoCreative | says | although i have one 30 inch (screen). I think the benefits of two screens are width - and basicall the ability to move your eyes across left |
| WeDoCreative | says | and right, rather than left, right, up & down |
