[DUG] [OFF-TOPIC] memory issues

If money is not an issue, I think two 30 inch lcd monitors is the way to go
;-)

I only got one at home to look at my photos. It is amazing. I used a spyder
to adjusted the color. I am programming c at home using gcc which is great
to look at everything on that 30inch lcd monitor.

Have a nice day

Regards
Leigh

    first programming in Delphi on a 14 (maybe it was 15) inch monitor - my
