Well, where you can get a single monitor that doubles the horizontal pixels
of a 21"
flat panel?

You can get a pair if 21" 1600x1200 flat panels for $900 total (Dell). Why get a
bigger wider one that costs many thousands?

Desktop: Depends on your work patterns. I've been using just a laptop for most of the
last couple of years. But I'm thinking I'm home working so much that it makes more
sense to boost my home productivity. I'm thinking 4 gigs in a home desktop with dual
cores and hard drives that are faster than a laptop will give me faster build times,
faster times searching through source files, etc.
