hmm

To switch between ETKA and your other Windows programs, press the 'Microsoft' button on your keyboard [between 'Ctrl' and 'Alt'] to reveal the Taskbar.

errr.... don't have one... but there is always the handy (hold down) Alt + (press) Tab combination still alive... and Ctrl + Esc for the start menu what also reveals task bar!
heres the wierdest thing, my win98 pc has no MS keys, but my win 3.1 laptop has a full compliment of the stupid things - what gives?

Remember that ETKA is the excuse you always needed for that 19" TFT monitor!!!

or a 17", or a 15" that is either 1280 rez or can shrink it down in the hardware... or a decent 15/17" CRT that can handle it.
or something like Powerstrip that lets you override the regular resolution and refresh rate barriers

or a handy "virtual desktop" thing, either bundled in your video driver, or (i think?) freeware online.
not that it bothers me, as i have that decent 15"er which can display an (albeit flickery) 1280x1024 image. and even the lappy can do simulated 1280, scrolling around following the mouse inside of a 640 frame - bit scary, that... less scary is how it can use oldskool interlacing to make it work on all but the crappest 14" monitor

yay for interlace!

Yeah, sorry - I didn't actually write that, or read it for that matter!!

I would've pointed out the whole alt+tab thing otherwise!!

My 17" TFT runs 1280x1024. Couldn't see the point in a 19" one as most only display 1280x1024, it's just a bit bigger that's all!! - And more expensive!!

Anyway, combined with my 17" CRT, I have a whopping resolution of 2560x1024!!

eh never mind chuck, i was a bit out of my brain at that point on sleep loss

you could always go for a variant of that method with two 1024x768 flat panels - i've just discovered that the dell LCD i'm using can be rotated 90 degrees on it's stand, and the video driver supports it! Full A4 page ownage! (to quote, er, someone -- "i'm doin' it right now!")

2x side by side = 1536x1024, or, more than enough (assuming you can wedge them together close enough that the border isnt too much of an issue)
