TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In the era of high-resolution monitors and VMware, I have no use for
two displays.
I rarely even have a use for the full width of my 1650x1050 display
except on the rare occasions when I need to look at two or more
windows at a time. 17 inches is way too wide for writing or editing a
single document, and I can only look at one document at a time.
In the past I had shoulder problems from ergonomically unsound work
environments, and having to look sideways all the time doesn't seem
like a good idea to me.
