In America 100 years is a long time. In the UK 100 miles is a long way.:-)
BTW: you still have to declare the tax you didn't pay in some states on your yearly return, so, you really save nothing.

I work on a 27" monitor every day out of choice for clarity as well as resolution and do not see individual pixels. 27" is a great choice for 1920x1200 IMO. Anything below 27" is cramped;-)
Cupholder => liquid near the computer. This is a no-no. I have a rule that all drinks must be on the *floor* anywhere near where there is a computer on a desk or higher surface.
Hanns and I-Inc still do the 27" 1920x1200. They even sell a TV version that you can use as a monitor. Deals run at around $200 + S&H+Tax from time to time.
Skype is one of the tools we absolutely don't use for business on a regular basis - and all of the group I presently work with telecommute and have done for years. We work far more with IM and teleconferences and email. Skype seems to us far too resource-heavy for daily use esp. if left running "just in case". And, yes, I have used it on Linux, Android, WebOS and Windoze. If we do feel like we need a face-to-face communication, we'll IM one another to start it up for the 5 mins it takes to talk that way.
Hmm, in 1993 I had Linux running on a 386SX25 with 6Mb of memory and a 128MB Hard drive. Works fine still... Just booted it:-) in 20s and to X11 in 35. Runs X11 just fine - with twm. Crawled running 3.11fWg.

A groove(y) synth at that - and not half bad - and at a price that's affordable. So, now we know ;-)

No connection, just like it among others.
ebay would be kinda hosed as well - right?
Accident. Wasn't my intention. Apologies.
I am a Brit... I knew / know the difference... I was taking the pun and making another point. :-)
Who says he wasn't - or that I didn't understand that ;-)
That must have been a quite a while ago - it's been a criminal offense to sell quite a lot of things by pounds weight in the UK for some time. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CFUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fnews%2Farticle-1074249%2FMetric-martyr-trader-gets-criminal-record-selling-fruit-veg-pound-stall-set-mother-Blitz.html&ei=gfu8T4L0IqbG6gGHr_Va&usg=AFQjCNEbzPLm9SDij6B0yK_7-th0-PEXrA&sig2=I2BPME0SSMgJC0zarfpTrQ

Here's a link where you can buy one too http://www.amazon.com/IBM-T221-22-2-3840x2400-Monitor/dp/B00006HS5R
Well, they are when the context clearly implies we are talking about resolution. I meant resolution :-)
You can get MUCH higher resolution screens with different aspect ratios than 16:9.

Unless you buy ones that are bigger. Like the other ones. :-)

I third it. Sager - WTG.
Or when people get old and have poor circulation. Sorry Grandma you can't have any money I can't see the blood flowing...
Oh, yes, forgot, vmware - been using that since v1. When you *need* to do something else, don't let it take over. Virtualize. W.

As for other tools:
Konsole, vi, emacs, ssh, pidgin, firefox, Openoffice / Libreoffice, thunderbird, VPN, cvs, DBDesigner, PostgreSQL, pgadmin among others...
Been using Linux for work for the last 19 years, and telecommuting or otherwise working out of a home office on and off for most of that period.
Avoid the cloud like the plague.
Kind regards.

Yup. Cranked up Minix from 5 1/4" dual floppys in 640k of memory. Worked great.

But, if he opened the box and looked inside the cat *might* have been carbon based...
And, "south of here" makes sense on any planet too - right ? ;-)
"That's a haddock you are eating sir"
"I know my fish! It's a cod, not a haddock!"
"No sir I assure you it's a haddock"
"Well, I'm not convinced. Have my plate taken back the kitchen. I want it DNA tested...."
Ah! So *that's* where my keys went!

Virtuawin works well for me on Windoze, but as other posters have said, it's a bolt on that is standard in Linux. W.
As someone who believe it is entirely wrong to lie about anything that is something that makes no sense.
