Interracial Threesome
In total geek fashion I have achieved a small part of my dream in life. To have 3 monitor computer setup. I currently have 2 now and it just pure bliss. One my left side I have my pbook (connie) and on the right my ubuntu linux (repo) working side by side. Now you may be wondering why does he have 2 keyboards and 2 mice for this crazy setup. Well I dont have I just have 1 thanks to Synergy2. This thing is amazing, with one movement I am on the other computer and typing and switching and forth just working away.
It is such a wonderufl experience I dont know how I could have lived without it before. One screen has my chats, and rss, and other information. The other with web browsing and other interactive goodness. Yet I dream of that 3rd one. I want another machine running windows then everything will be complete.
Some of you are wondering why do I need all this screens. What could I possibly be doing with all these things. Well truthfully normal people wouldn’t get it, and if you have to ask then you wouldn’t understand. For me it is all about information and really multitasking. It just frees up so much screen real estate and just gives me that extra feel for interaction.

Is it bad if I say that setup turns me on? Though I’m not sure why you want a Windows box…ok, I am, but you know you’re selling out. Stick with Mac and the varied incarnates of linux!!
Insanity.
you could get a larger screen you know. my dream setup is two 21inch screens side by side at 1600×1200 each. I have the 2 screens already just need to fucking get a vga card for my mac that iwll handle dual screen. cost: $200
Take a picture, I want to see this, I seriously do :P
Ohhhhhhhh u hit a nerve there Nibaq.. my dream setup is somewhat still expensive, but i am looking for those dual core processor computers, and being able to hook up three 17″ monitors to it, one for chatting, one for the internet, and one for multimedia or gaming .. that would be cool!! god i am drooling right now:P
My Dream Machine
Check my dream setup
weshalem galba, our geek ;p
dude.. sounds complex.. show us a pic for real..
In my dorm room i have a setup of my lap top(keetab al kowah lol “powerbook”) and another computer with xp, one for songs(cuz its connected to the speakers, the xp computer) :P and the other for internet(my mac).
I won’t surprised if you end up with Ms.Mac :P I’m doing all right with my fat & heavy 18 X 17 screen :))
The windows is just for well menial work really like torrent downloads. I haven’t seen a better program that uTorrent for downloads and well Windows is also a good media player.
Not sure on my Linux setup. The more I use it the more I feel strange about it. It just doesn’t do it for me. I recall back when I was on Slackware ages ago it was cool and nimble and had all sorts of cool features. Now having it side by side with my OSX I just see how much the Linux/BSD crew have to catch up on the whole GUI interface. I dont plan to stick to Linux as a personal choice. The main reason I am installing it and playing with it is for a storage/fileserver system hence the name Repo short for repository.
I will most likely add another screen for my pbook to give it 2 screens. So will need to get a HDMI->Vga convertor.
[…] I’ve mentioned earlier of my multi screen/computer with single input setup. Well now I have the setup that will facitiliate my quest for world domination. […]
