X-Pengs are where it's at. They are taking over fast in Europe with better cars for less money.

Yeah, window management is certainly better with separate monitors, hopefully this will get better with time. On the flip side I would love to get rid of physically managing three individual pieces of hardware that wasn't made to work

I have three 4K 27" which yield a bit more screen real estate. Otherwise I'd love to go to a single ultrawide.

There was a time when web pages were like regular documents, that could easily be scrolled through.

A hundred times more time is spent reading a given piece of code, than it took writing it, in the lifetime of that program. OK I made up the statistic, but the core idea is true, and it's something that is rarely considered in this deb

I had forgotten what a big deal 'freezer' cartridges were on the C64! A friend's uncle manufactured these himself using an EPROM burner and God knows where he got the casings, and sold them to us kids. Worked great. I had no

Funny how closely his own machinations resemble the (obviously comically deranged) delusions of some of his characters. He was clearly quite self-aware, as another comment noted, or could it be that the whole FBI report was a jest? It reall
