Computer Upgrade
Well after 6 months of saving my nickles, dimes, and a lot of dollers too, I bought myself a new video card for my new (6 month old) computer. $100 bought me a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS. Don't tell me I coulda got a better card or a better price. All I care about is I got my 2nd monitor in use again.
Can you imagine 6 months of staring at a 19" monitor wishing it wasn't dark? I have dual monitors at work, I have had dual monitors both at home and at work for years now. The new computer drove me NUTS with only a single screen.I am happy again. Maybe I can get more work done at home? Wait... I see a video game and talking to my mother. I guess THAT cat is out of the bag.

That's a pretty good low budget video card. Sorry to say that you could have gotten it cheaper (http://tinylink.com/?bjpKJcdf7u). It's nice that it has dual video.
Hey, can anyone tell what brand computer creuzer is running? ;-)
What happend to your debadged wireless microsoft mouse? Did it go the way of your mac?
HP.... They just put it in the wrong case... Yeah, that's it... they messed up at the factory and put it into that OTHER case...
The de-microsofted Intelepoint Explorer is sitting in the box with my Apple Keyboard. I would hate to contaminate the mouse by plugging it into a PC. Anyway, my KVM is a PS2 KVM so a USB mouse is rather difficult to make work (yeah, I got them little green things sticking out of the back of the KVM, but it is a little fussy sometimes that way when the computer boots and the KVM isn't looking at the booting computer).
You see, while he could have gotten it cheaper, he wanted it now, from Best Buy. How do I know? He wanted advice. I haven't been tracking the who's better nVidia/ATI war, but I've always found nVidia's multimonitor support to be simpler and more robust.
More work? I think doing two thngs at once is more like it. Talking to someone AND playing video game.Maybe one of the things to be done is to clean off the desk-I can barely see the keyboard.
