The media programming is strong with this one!

And these same companies wonder why cracking is such a big problem... ?

My two cents worth (although I may be owed change...?). I do IT consulting work, so I'm constantly remoting in to servers and user's computers all over the place (including the Philippines and Mexico). Since many of the users now have dual monitor setups, it was VERY trying to work directly on my laptop. So I started remoting into my laptop first from my primary computer which had a larger screen. That helped so much that I went out three Christmas' ago and got a 40" 4k TV which looked HUGE originally. However, I would never go back now that I've used this screen for a while! Although it's a 4k monitor, I use it at 2,560 x 1,440 98% of the time. I also do gigantic spreadsheets and Windows programming, so the extra screen real estate is VERY helpful. Now, here's the interesting part: There's software out there that will allow you to partition your screen (MaxTo is one and Stardock has related products too). This allows you to virtually have multiple desktops (or even multiple computers) up at the same time, but with the ability to use the full screen with any of these (just a couple key strokes required). You can also divide the big monitor into smaller ones so that things stay compartmentalized in each. While the curved screens are nice, I like the flat ones and I actually have my 40" screen attached to an arm so I can turn it into portrait mode (good for making posters for clients and playing around with Reason's virtual racks!). The one thing that annoys me to no end are the screens that are very short and wide. Those are almost completely useless to me. A couple last points... Do some research! Most 4k TV's work GREAT as monitors (and I just saw an off-brand 55" at Walmart for well under $300!). That said, if you want to do fast-paced gaming, you'll want to spend a lot more and get one with a really low latency (the good gaming screens have low, single-digit latency in milliseconds, most other TV's are in the 60ms to 90ms range - still plenty fast enough for even most games). Also, check the viewing angles. Obviously, straight-on should look great, but many (including me) have noticed that some, like my Samsung, start to wash out a little when looked at from an angle (like when I stand up). LG's tend to be very good from any angle. The final thing to consider is the type of TV. You'll have to look this up because I don't recall all the specifics, but some (OLED's?) can still be affected by burn in (the original reason "screen savers" were invented). This can become very apparent if you use one of these types of TV's as a monitor since a lot of things (like your taskbar) rarely change.

I don't know about anyone else, but I clearly see a small handful of frets that have not been labeled! ?

One for Strummy! ?

My business partner just did the download from the first link and all he got was their shareware/adware... I'll send him the direct link!

Reminds me of a comment I just heard: Q: Are you quarantined? A: No, but I'm stuck in the house with my wife; not sure which is worse! ?

Yes! Avoid the blotters with Bullwinkle on them!!!

Yep! I'll post my list soon. ?

All yep, plus two I don't have: Beach Boys and Television (both of which should be on my list - I can see 'em!).

All good!

Good job! You even found some that weren't on my list! (Pink Fairies, Mountain, the Shadows, Focus, Trapeze, the Blues Brothers and the Byrds.) Pink, the Pixies, Cypress Hill, Blur, Twisted Sister, the Killers and the Eagles were on my list. Heck, some of your choices are better!

That's only for when they DO walk into a bar. ?

I'm ready. (Actually, if you look closely, you'd notice that there's no way this setup is in "MY" bathroom! Everyone knows those rolls were put on backwards!)

I can't afford to upgrade right now, so I think I'll stick with my Am5. ?

I tried Band-in-a-Box, but the drummer kept passing out drunk, the bass player got arrested (twice) and the singer kept freezing up...

Wow, didn't realize he was 81!
