One positive aspect of this whole financial crisis debacle is that I keep receiving amazing discounts for hardware, and after resisting for a while (maybe waiting for an even-better offer?) I went for it, and replaced my desktop with a big bad Dell workstation - and this time, dual screen! A long time back, someone remarked to me that we spend a good quarter of our lives in bed, and therefore putting some good dollars into a top-quality bed was a good investment. By the same token, I do spend another good quarter of my days in front of my computer, so there is no point in being cheap there! Next step will probably be an Aeron chair...
