I use two 19" LCD wide screens and have been pretty happy with that setup. Im not sure I'd find a 3rd to be as big as gain as the...

Nicely said. To some degree though the fact is that their tactics often prove effective, which makes it hard to talk them down from it.

Not sure I agree that its half baked. Yes, you need to understand its limitations, though hopefully we agree that's true of all features!

It's a very low cost (disk space,...
