I remember about 15 years ago when I had a Mac, which had this built-in function where you could magnify the size of your screen, I made the mistake of magnifying 16x and then having to crawl around this mega screen where a single letter took up the entire screen until I could relocate the place to shut it off.

A few months ago we also did something silly-hooking up an external screen to my laptop. There was something that happened involving the frequency of the screen that caused the screen on the laptop to go completely blank, and it wouldn't come back. It was a software problem, not a hardware problem. I think in the end we solved it somehow by going into safe mode and rolling back the Windows entirely to a previous backup of the system, since it wasn't a simple matter of just shutting it off.

Ouch! I wonder what happened there? I use an "extended desktop" when editing photos as the external CRT I use is far better than the TFT that is on my notebook. The extended desktop also comes in handy when I need a few applications open or when organizing files etc.

Yes, there are days when I wish I hadn't opened this Pandora's box. I was pretty happy when I didn't know how to turn on a computer which was only 5 years ago.

There's a book I read once called "Leadership Traits and Qualities," that sort of answers that wonder you speak of. In a nut shell, the book describes what I call an anatomy and physiology of the human spirit. But regardless of how one subsumes the content, the wonder part is undeniable: how well one can communicate direction is why we bother...

Hope the synopsis proves useful.

Richard,

Been there, done that, have the tee-shirt.
