The times they have a-changed indeed.
My first computer experience was on a VAX 780. 2 MB Ram, 550 MB hard disk. It
ran most of the Lincoln University campus - some 60 screens, probably 200-300
user accounts, each with what seemed an enormous disk quota. Phd students had
huge data files

John, you may use poScreenCenter if you want the form to be placed in the
center of your main monitor... if you use poDesktopCenter, you'll get half a
form in each monitor.

I can't off the top of my head think of a scenario where poDesktopCenter

I much prefer one monitor over two.
Good grief. Debugging with two is fantastic.
I find it hard to fit two monitors on my lap g. So I make do with
the one widescreen.
When I had a desktop setup, I tried dual monitor for a while, but it
didn't gel, for all that I generally like lots of screen
What brands have others liked?
Asus, for desktops and laptops. Almost all our in-house systems are
that. Our latest at home purchase is an EEE 1000H which is just
another home appliance in the lounge; fantastic.
Sony has been the best in my experience.
Used to love Sony, but will never buy

I have fond memories of the PDP as well. The original vax was shared
with all of DSIR. We had PDP that was the local computer till we got
our vax in 1985. However,

Our first PC was a Vic-20. I was about 9 or 10 when we got it. I
converted a snake game engine into a two player top down car racing
game. Those were the days!

I also early on used PDPs for nearly 10 years.tall rack mounted one. I
still remember how I cursed when it had to be moved from one building to next
door, when I found out the rack was 1/4 taller than the lift doors. That
meant the whole thing had to be dissasembled to move it.

Oh dear Phil, you sound as young as I do.
How about the Commodore Pet in 1979? then a soldered together computer from
a kitset and resembled a ZX80 and had a whole 1kb of memory to play with.
A couple fo years later I remember a discussion with someone telling them
for a serious business
Nearly, but by the time I could afford one, I got a ZX Spectrum +3
instead!
Built-in tape drive, etc.
I remember those 16kb expansion packs tho'. Wobbly upright things IIRC.
Sort of thing you had to prop upright/wedge in with a piece of lego or
similar!
Indeed, those were the days...
for out 16km expansion pack we tried blue-tac and cellotape to hold it in
place and drilled holes in it to keep it cool. In the end . we bought a
Spectrum..then did the 48kb mem upgrade.smoking !! :-)
