Widescreen LCDs pivoted to portrait mode.

Pretty neat for forums. Two or three side by side would be...

I desperately want at least a pair of those. So Hawt!
I've been jealous ever since Feign got a set of them for him and the gf.

It's even better once they heal a little more mobile than they used to be. Curling my left pinky into a U shape (the wrong way, mind you) always seems to get people.

Portrait monitors are cool, although kind of odd to look at.

I`ve never used one, but I can see how they might be useful.
Also, would anyone like to see some photos of my in-growing toenails?
edit: OMG I just realized that I joined OSY a year and a half before Jeremy! Does that make me uber-l33t or something, or is it just that Jeremy is extremely slothful, and forgot to register on his own forum?

Actually yeah, thanks for asking. In January of this year I couldn't even do a pushup. By spring I was nearly back to normal and I spent all summer bashing people with it. Both of my shoulders make funny sounds when I do things like adjust myself in my chair, etc, but they seem fine.

I think what happened was that there were two Jeremy Reimer accounts, one from OSY 1.0 that got moved over, and one new account. I think this one is the new account, so it is dated from the birth of OSY 2.0. Or something. I haven't thought about it all that much and honestly the prospect of doing so makes my brain go gooey.

I've put it back to landscape. It's pretty stressful on the old neck, looking up and down instead of side to side all the time.

Any consolation, the black level is shit and the VGA cable that came with it is appalling 
Handy for video work too, you can fit two widescreen PAL viewports one above the other with plenty of space for buttons underneath.
