mudmanc4 Posted February 18, 2013 CID Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm out of hand here really, once I get going I've got access to the local svn, backup server, several layers of tab filled browser windows, too many shells for transferring files , even an ftp client for those times it's just quicker, photoshop, coda2 , pathfinder , another browser for pandora , stock quote streaming { just in case roco sells me some BP shares} and who knows a dozen other things. Email, customer support, skype uhhhg! Problem is with this mac it's limited to two screens -- not good. Too many layers, no , nothing in osx helps anymore. Just too much I have going at a time to quickly pick something. I end up having to grab the mouse God forbid and tick the icon for shits sake. Screen realestate is more valuable then a drink of water for a dry scratchy eye ball from staring at screen for too long. Is it time to get a 60" for the office ? Or a mac pro with capable graphics cards that I can use some of these other monitors connected to other shit in here ? Again , i would grab one of the USB video cards but the turds are sticking to their prices for the last year @ 50 bones for a cheapo decent one. Not gonna happen. Should be 20 bucks or less by now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /frustrated so much I took time to vent this worthless thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted February 18, 2013 Author CID Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yea, last time I added everything I wanted I think it was around $18k - the wife would not appreciate that in the slightest. I think I'll eventually find one used or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted February 18, 2013 CID Share Posted February 18, 2013 I use four when I am at work. Generally I leave Email open on one, and two of our monitoring tools open on two of the others. The third is usually empty with a few Lync Windows open for our inter-work communications. Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted February 19, 2013 Author CID Share Posted February 19, 2013 An entire monitor for email damn - lucky one are we not ? I use four when I am at work.

nanobot Posted February 19, 2013 CID Share Posted February 19, 2013 An entire monitor for email damn - lucky one are we not ?Yeah, we have a bunch of them sitting around. I might go up to five or six and have to actually mount them sometime soon. One of the advantages of working somewhere that has a large surplus of this stuff.

mudmanc4 Posted February 20, 2013 Author CID Share Posted February 20, 2013 Every couple months I chuck everything outside of the flagged (needed) business messages, yet most everything is internal support request notifications that don't need read anyhow. It's time to make that move now. When will you have time to read 5K messages ? Or do you get these constantly ? Just curious since it was brought up. If i don't stay on top of it I don't get paid. Here's something for you to gander at lol This is my spam server reports ~ Mind you these have nothing to do with those that are accounts not going through the local client which do not need to be run through the spamserver. I can't even imagine how many total messages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted February 20, 2013 CID Share Posted February 20, 2013 I usually just read the subject and from header of all my messages, and if it looks important I continue reading. I have about 8K emails in the 5K unread folder right now, and I have about 7K in that 6K unread folder as well. Most of my emails are from here or another site I am on, or some other subscription I have. For example, of the eight emails I have already gotten today, two are from here and six are notifications from another site. I usually don't need to read about 75% of my emails.

starship_troopers Posted February 28, 2013 CID Share Posted February 28, 2013 before i switched to my laptop i used a 21 inch acer widescreen monitor and a 17 inch monitor for a dual setup. basically had it set up so that i could easily switch the ps3 on and use the 21 inch monitor for that and still have a single monitor for pc. (this was before i had an hdtv) mudmanc4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
