Hi Conor, I am very happy to see others in this dug also like doing photo stuff. I got a spyder too to color calibrated my 30 inch dell lcd monitor at home.
If you want to see my photos, I posted here. http://www.artpapa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14985&page=61 Have a nice day Regards Leigh -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Conor Boyd Sent: Tuesday, 31 March 2009 8:27 a.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Offtopic List Subject: Re: [DUG-Offtopic] new PC Desktop, with twin 22" widescreen monitors. One of the previous posters mentioned disk speed. You won't find the same level of disk technology (speed etc) in a laptop (well, not without paying for it), and all the waffle we had yesterday about the merits of various levels of RAID is irrelevant WRT laptops. At home I have a desktop for doing photo stuff on (colour calibrated monitors etc), and a cheap laptop I picked up in a work sell-off that I can use to RDP to my desktop from time to time. ;-) But for the foreseeable future I really can't see myself ever using a laptop permanently in place of a desktop. But then I don't visit clients, etc. C. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeremy Coulter Sent: Monday, 30 March 2009 8:40 p.m. To: 'NZ Borland Developers Group - Offtopic List' Subject: Re: [DUG-Offtopic] new PC ok, so here is a question. How many of you are developing on a laptop, and how many on a desktop? I have been thinking of maybe getting a laptop, or rather replacing my current one that does nothing much other than RDP to my desktop when I am watching TV :-), as a replacement for my desktop all togeither.

In my case VMWare wasn't even runing at the time, but some services were obviously. I turned them off ;) John
