WeDoCreative Jul 30, 2008 07:06PM for online productivity, the one thing I would say you need more than anything else - is as big a screen as you can afford.
Glyphrunner says Jul 30, 2008 06:10PM I run two widescreen monitors and it really helps for all the document editing and then graphic design development
WeDoCreative says Jul 30, 2008 06:13PM i've got the 30" apple display and it's actually phenomenal what i can do without having to change windows & so on.
WeDoCreative says Jul 30, 2008 06:17PM 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
Sir Proudgamer Jul 30, 2008 06:20PM One of my friends would project onto his wall . . . I wonder hom many inches that was
WeDoCreative says Jul 30, 2008 06:25PM talespinner - absolutely wonderfully. But now, i would honestly say - I would love another
Rebecca says Jul 30, 2008 06:37PM I agree. I have a 24" & find it does help to have more screen space!
DebInAustin says Jul 30, 2008 06:39PM I do use "spaces" and "expose" a lot on my mac and appreciate that a lot.
WeDoCreative says Jul 30, 2008 06:44PM sirproudgamer...i know the feeling DebInDenver - i love the features too, but the switching between spaces starts to drive me potty
DebInAustin says Jul 30, 2008 06:51PM 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
WeDoCreative says Jul 30, 2008 06:57PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 06:59PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:04PM oh, then check out tabgroups firefox extension. paranoid-androids.com/tabgroups/ . You'll need to do this first though...:

DebInAustin says Jul 30, 2008 07:07PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:08PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:07PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:08PM tab or desktop app. Sigh. The Flock people told me that the FF folks are working on it...
WeDoCreative says Jul 30, 2008 07:11PM are you sure there isn't a way to use it with ff3? I'd put money on it that there is
DebInAustin says Jul 30, 2008 07:13PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:14PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:13PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:15PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:19PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:19PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:20PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:20PM seem right though, and I have no knowledge of programming to know what kind of solution might work.
DebInAustin says Jul 30, 2008 07:22PM I am going to delete some of the excess stuff and see if that helps.
WeDoCreative says Jul 30, 2008 07:21PM 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
DebInAustin says Jul 30, 2008 07:26PM 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 Jul 30, 2008 07:27PM 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.
DebInAustin says Jul 30, 2008 08:03PM hey Zee, bad manners! I forgot to say thanks for all your great advice! And research! Thank you!
waveydavie asks Jul 30, 2008 08:39PM what's the advantage of two screens and how does it work? Still using a 19" but have acquired a 23".
WeDoCreative says Jul 30, 2008 10:39PM 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
