This might be an option of interest to some WL users.

A week before SS, I finally bought a Widescreen Monitor to hopefully enable 3 
bandmaps and the packet window to all fit on one screen along with the basic WL 
setup.  The current desk does not have the real estate for a 2nd monitor.

Widescreen Monitors ROCK!!!

The prices on older (but new-in-box) versions have come down.  I bought a 
ViewSonic VA1912wb 19" with 1440 x 900 resolution.  It was $239 (less another 
$30 mail-in rebate) at FRY's here in Silly-CON Valley, USA.

Unfortunately, my Dell D600 notebook video/graphics card will only go to 1280 x 
768, but this still enabled me to do what I hoped for.  MUCH better than my 
notebook screen or the separate standalone regular Dell flat panel I tried here.

My screen is a bit squashed verticaly with the 1280 x 768, but the added room 
to the bottom of the monitor turned out to be very convenient for scotch taping 
some miscellaneous reminders and operational notes :-)

I am a Happy Camper about this!

FWIW & 73...

RIck, K6VVA
