    What's your screen resolutions guys? I'm using 1280*1024 and i think it's the optimal one on my 19' monitor, 1600*1200 is too small and 1024*768 is too awkward.

    I use 1024 * 768 on my 17 inch, I was using 1280*1024 but it just hurt my eyes.

    Haha, Nitro, how did you know? Just kidding, i don't wear glasses. so, 1024x768 is the most common one you're using. Ok, good to know if you're making a homepage. But 800*600 what's that good for Nitro?

    Hello Kedaman!

    I was not trying to be sarcastic with the last statement. It was a sincere curiosity since you are using such small fonts.

    I use 800x600 because I am a part-time chemist and need to see my calculations across the lab. I do my chemical analysis on the computer.

    Have a nice day!

    Thanks Nitro!
    Hehe, i love to have everything compressed, i use 9 pixel arial in vb, so the code looks pretty much like small ants. I use a lot of : and never use _ and no extra enters, all comments are on the same line as the line being commented and i declare types using symbols. I hate long variable names but i guess i have to use them all the time.

    Yes, Nitro, it is Sony Trinitron. I also think that Sony is one of the best monitors out there (along with Mitsubishi, Hitachi and Iiama)

    hi,

    i am running 1024x768 in 32-bit true colour on a
    tatung 14" monitor

    Merlin ?

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
