Hey! If I didn't have a spare 21" 4:3 CRT, I wouldn't even be able to read this! I'm a Frankenstein museum of forgotten and reanimated computer hardware... ;-) I have created dual-screen setups with CRTs many years ago, with one graphics card (1st monitor DVI->VGA, 2nd monitor VGA), and it was very convenient to work with. The only problem with CRTs is that they're demanding workspace area and volume, compared to LCDs. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
