No, _not_ one physical screen. I have poor eyesight but a good memory so I usually keep to one thing per pane. However, I can keep all the related stuff on one "desk" and switch to it when I want to work on that project. The metaphor is a stack of 4x4 arrays of panes where each pane is what you think of as a desktop. Everything on desk 0 has to do with Chrony, everything on desk 1 has to do with music theory, everything on desk 2 has to do with the Web site, etc. Even after several days of not touching the music theory stuff when I switch to that desk I have no trouble remembering that Solfege is in the upper right pane. > But never mind, what I really was saying is that I'm as much of an > idiot as the next guy for wasting huge amounts of time to set up, > modify, etc. my computing interface.. Mine has gradually evolved over the last 15 years. It's been a long time since I made any significant changes. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
