You never realize you have this problem till you actually have two computers you use on a regular basis.
My current setup includes an IBM X31 laptop connected to a 2nd 15″ LCD monitor and my X41 TabletPC connected to a 2nd 19″ LCD monitor! On the same desk, next to each other!
Often, I am chatting with […]

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I know how most people complain about Bangalore roads and traffic … but you should know Bangalore traffic wasn’t so bad till even 5 years ago.
