Well, I can do you one better, Teresa - I upgraded the WXGA to UXGA for my
new Dell and I too have 1/2 screen left over. I stretched it all out, but I
think I am going to do a layout that takes half the screen and run my
on-line census services on the other half. After spending a day looking at
the UXGA, I went back to the desktop and thought someone had substitute an
Etch-A-Sketch while I was gone:)
I also upgraded to 1.8GHz and 1 G memory. I'm in heaven - what a Christmas
present!
