Poll question: Just curious: What's your screen resolution?
For Windows users: If you don't know how to check, just right click on your desktop, choose "Properties" and then click the "Settings" tab. It will tell you there.

I don't know how to do it on a Mac though.

I just listed the most common ones (past and present, hence the 640 x 480) in the poll.

4. Currently 1680x1050
Soon it will be joined by a 23 or 24" display, mainly because the current 20" widescreen has some weird splotches on it that are just too annoying when I'm working with my photos.

9. This year, it was
to stop smoking, exercise and eat more healthily.



It's not going so well.

10. 1920x1200 here, too.
I could do more on this 26" monitor, but that's all my three-year-old video card can handle.

12. I lurve my widescreen monitor!
It's still new, but it's so great that I love everything about it! It's so light, even I can carry it! It's sharp, it's so bright, I actually had to tone it down a bit!

Now the cats can't jump up on the back of it, and I can position it far enough away to have no problems seeing it. (old age, you know)

14. Yeah, I love mine as well.
Trying to make digital art/do graphic and web design on an ancient-ass 15" CRT was brutal.

21. In 2000 I was doing Flash animations on a 15 incher. My computer had a 75 mhz

processor and almost a meg of ram which Flash
borrowed from my Win 98 OS. Needless to say
I prayed before saving every file.

Your pain means nothing to me.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

23. Haha, damn, that's brutal.

When you said 75MHz, I thought you meant the refresh rate at first, but a 75MHz processor? Harsh.

25. Yeah my frame rate was 1 frame for every 2 seconds regardless of my movie preferences.


I actually had to count my step animations mathematically
and test them on my machine at Media School.

I felt like a tweener working for Walt Disney in 1939.

For some reason the old box would not post a timeout
error even for a half hour save.

On top of that my box was a mercy gift from my former
employer who built it from the cadavers of three dead
machines. The processor was glued to the side of the case
with crazy glue for lack of screws.

15. Maybe more people would post and vote if this was about Paris Hilton circumcising a pit bull
Or something.

24. 320x240 on my iPAQ, just to be a wiseacre... it's not my normal
