oohh. that is a bad one. We have a similar issue, I have a 17"
newish happy iiyama monitor. He has a 14" *vga* (that's 9, count
em, 9 pins to the kids at home) ....so we have a switch for our
boxen. point is, only one of us can use a box at a time with X(in
a *real* resolution/ color depth). Though a flatscreen would be
cool. Or another working monitor. So I tell him to stay at work
lots so I can use the real monitor. *snrk*
Though books is our main issue. We currently only buy one copy of
an orielly book, given the fact that one of us is a student the
other works at a .edu. Though we have 3 copies of the llama book
if anyone is in/around boston and wants one I'd be happy to give it to
them (the llama book is the Learning Perl book).
