    I do agree with you about "Spaces", though. It's absolutely brilliant. :)

    Which is why the Ubuntu variants of linux do it too! Microsoft are so far behind the times...
    Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning: 'I can't configure Debian'.

    If you're using XP, download theVirtual Desktop Manager powertoy and you can have up to four desktops, or you can go third party for XP & Vista with VirtualWin, Dexpot or VDM :)

    Wow, that's impressive. Can it catch a different virus on each one? :)

    Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

    As a result of how you voted in the last three General Elections,
    you'd now be better off living in one.

    ...or just wait a few years until Microsoft implement it into Windows, as they're now doing with the dock, and smart folders.

    It's funny, a copy of Mac OS X is about $100, yet Microsoft spend millions on R&D for Windows.

    What do they spend the rest of the money on? :rotfl:

    because Apple really invented the ideas behind multiple desktops, didn't they?

    Mock ye not. Informed sources in Redmond have leaked that Windows 7 will be a very effectively plagiarised copy of Mac System 7.

    Windows 1 - 1985

    Mac System 7 - 1991

    Both featured a row of shortcuts at the bottom of the screen.

    Anyway, I posted those links to anyone who might be interested in multiple desktops on Windows.

    I must be having a stroke, as I don't recall saying that they did.

    Marty J,

    On another matter entirely - but while you're here :) - this review, published today, might interest you. It resolves an issue we were debating elsewhere.

    (Apologies for interrupting the thread. :o )

    Looks like it does support the 30-inch monitor then.

    Just goes to show you can't believe everything you read. ;)
