i myself would prefer a dome setup, with the borders between monitors reduced (read : chop the casing...) a whole dome wouldn't neccessarily be needed for an RTS, but imagine the flight sims! i also feel that the desktop would be more natural with an all-around view. being able to look at notes i've posted on other monitors would be sweet... ===== Justin Bengtson @euglug=(v+ e- eug++ bsd? gnu++ s++) [EMAIL PROTECTED] "i called some kid 'b' the other day. it's the price you pay for living hip-hop every day of your life."
