can no longer see letters on a few of the keys. I used to be pretty

That makes me wonder, how many of you have less-than-adequate
equipment for your jobs? I have everything I need here, but on my
first tech writing job, I continually had to wait for the computer to
catch up with what I'd typed or clicked.

Stirring it up ay Lisa?
Up until DAYS ago, literally, I was using a 400mhz. PII ! ! ! It was SO
slow I forgot what I clicked on at times, from waiting. But as I already

Having dual monitors is significant. At most places, I've managed to get
my employer to do that. Right now I have a sweet dual-20-inch LCD setup,

in the office system when I bring it home to use.
