Why would I have to be 6 in order to live my life over again? If I could go back in time, 6 years, I would have chosen a wide screen laptop.
you said your laptop was 6 years old, and if you could live your life over again, you'd get a bigger screen. therefore implying your "life" was 6 years long.
A split screen is a way to look at different parts of a document at the same time. Each view can be scrolled separately, except when they're syncronized. I guess. I don't intentionally split the screen, I accidentally do it and then have to figure out how to make it stop. (I finally learned how.)
that's application specific, though, and really just changes the view of the document- properly, it's called splitting the window, not really the screen. A "Split screen" implies showing two desktops simultaneously on a single screen by splitting the physical screen in half and showing one on each half.
I'm guilty of hooking up my netbook to my 1280x1024 LCD and extending my Desktop. Extended desktops are just so much better and easier to use...
You bet, if you have two monitors you can do all sorts of neat stuff you couldn't do otherwise, like watch DVDs or videos on one monitor and keep working in another.
I don't believe in dual monitors.
I'm pretty sure they exist. Or did you mean, you don't believe in
using dual monitors? In which case the question is... why?
