Ok, I can’t take it anymore, I have to write something about this, just to vent at least. I am currently on the computing floor of the watts building (Brighton University). I am sitting/working in the section with all the dual screen computers (there are about 50-60 of them). Now as I look around this section, and in fact, every time I have looked round this section I have noticed that I seem to be the only person that has either noticed there is another monitor or who knows how to actually use it. This is driving me up the bloody wall. Why can these people just piss off and use other computers, ones that their pea sized intellects can comprehend fully….ok, so as yet there haven’t been enough of them to stop me using a PC, but one day I tell you it will happen, and I shall hit the roof. I seem to be one of a rare breed that understands the beasts and actually uses them to make my life easier and faster (in stead of the growing number for whom the other monitor just provides yet more space to loose the mouse).

While I’m having a go at them (and as I still have 3 hours till my next tutorial) I shall take this chance the note down my other pet peeve with them. As far as I am aware, we have actually advanced beyond the 60Hz refresh rate these buggers insist on providing us with. I have never understood this. The machines on this floor are in identical groups and there is a different build for each group, so there is no skin off any sys admin’s nose if they set the refresh to the highest the monitor can handle at its chosen resolution. Now, granted, for many machines this does bugger all as they are TFT’s, but for those on CRT’s (which is the higher spec machines (as they tend to be for graphics)) they have just left them on default. These machines are for top end graphics for Gods sake; these people will never notice the benefit of having a CRT if some tart cant set it up correctly.

EDIT: ok, ive been at this computer for almost 3 hours and i have yet to see another person use their other monitor (many of these people have been using flash and photoshop….) *grinds teeth*
