THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Exec , BARC / LLOY / possibly GKN if your looking for small bounce back movements.
I'm tempted by BP. but not all the time oils going down .

Thanks for a sensible reply, JB.

By the way, is anyone interested my two very excellent, totally unmarked, Dell Ultrasharp 2209A 22" 178/178 6ms 1680x1050@60Hz 'anti-glare' monitors? I still have the boxes and the monitors are both in 'as new' condition and with no missing pixels. The stands are fully adjustable and the monitors also rotate to the 'portrait' position.

Before anyone asks me, it's £180 'delivered for the both of them.

I've just worked out, that a 1,000 shares investment in GKN, at say buying price of £2.80 and sold at a profit of 20p in a few days time, would get you my monitors for nothing.

There looks to be ample cheap looking shares around but they could get cheaper still, I like CNA @ 206p; TW. @191p and play the commodities with BRWM @ 173p.

Exec,

Be careful you might be giving your wife ideas.

ExecLine - 07 Jan 2016 14:20 - 66848 of 81564

I've already asked her if she wants to buy them, Fred, but she says, that since she feels quite secure, she most likely will prefer the new ones.

She tells me she is not buying 1,000 GKN either.

I think we might both go out and walk the dog. It's a bit wet out there, though.

ExecLine - 07 Jan 2016 14:23 - 66849 of 81564

There are some new bras for sale with up to 70% off.

Does 'no shoulder straps' count as 70% of a bra?

Hmmm?

Up to 70% off

cynic - 07 Jan 2016 14:54 - 66850 of 81564

a bra that is 70% off has been undone single-handed and already has one breast freed and the other on its way out

Stan - 07 Jan 2016 14:55 - 66851 of 81564

E/L are they Mac compatible do you know or does it not matter these days? also how old are they and are they anything like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-2209WA-1680-x-1050-22-LCD-TFT-Monitor-VGA-DVI-USB-16-10-Adj-Stand-Grade-A-/191761105136?hash=item2ca5da40f0:g:jzAAAOSw~otWcWE9

Stan - 07 Jan 2016 15:11 - 66852 of 81564

Come on then... answer the question as we say on here these days -):

ExecLine - 07 Jan 2016 15:28 - 66853 of 81564

:-)

Yes. Doze are day.

I see on you link the US postage to here is a tadge excessive (£57) which added to the very reasonable BIN price of £61 totals £118 each. So I think I have pitched my price about right.

For the Mac connection you will need a VGA/DVI adapter.


Stan - 07 Jan 2016 15:35 - 66854 of 81564

Thanks for video link, the only reason I used that model example from ebay was for the spec and not the price/P+P.

I am using the adapter with my present monitor so thats won't be a problem.

How old are they?

i always thought "Cologne Body Builder" was an alias for Henry Cooper

ExecLine - 07 Jan 2016 17:12 - 66859 of 81564

Stan

I bought them in April 2011 so that makes them nearly 5 yrs old.

EDIT: Have retrieved the Dell boxes from the loft. The date on the boxes is 07/02/11 - so I was slightly out.

Stan - 07 Jan 2016 17:32 - 66860 of 81564

Can they be used individually and when used together how do you switch the mouse activity from monitor to monitor via the keyboard? As I have never used two side by side.

ExecLine - 07 Jan 2016 20:18 - 66861 of 81564

With the PC switched 'Off', you connect the two monitors to the two DVI connections at the back of your PC. At this stage it doesn't matter which monitor to which connection.

Now switch 'On' and start Windows in the normal way.

One of the two monitors will now show the Windows Desktop screen in the normal way.

By the time you get to this stage Windows will have recognised you are using one new monitor and will have kicked you off with the latest up to date the Driver for that make and model of monitor. If you have some time and patience you could at this stage (or later if you want) let a program called Driver Booster 3 (Free) go through your whole machine and download and install ALL of your machine's Drivers.

(Whilst on the subject of being 'up to date' with things, you could also use a Free program called Secunia PSI (PSI=personal software inspector) to check your whole machine for the latest versions of ALL the software you are using too. Doing this will obviously take a few minutes so you could leave this till later too.)

Anyhow, moving on with installing the dual monitors...

Then you go into the Control Panel in Windows from a click on the the Start Button at the bottom LHS of the screen. You need to open the Display section. Click on Screen Resolution. Here you will see how you can simply 'enable' the 2nd monitor and move (drag their icons) Monitors 1 and 2 into their correct '1 positioned to the LHS' and '2 positioned to the RHS' positions. Have a play around. You can 'Save' what you do or ignore it so you can't really go wrong. Change 'Resolution', position, identity (1 or 2), etc.

You could also see what you fancy wanting to watch on YouTube about the subject of: 'setting up multiple monitors' and, say using a 'Dual VGA graphics card'. It's the latter which will most probablty provide you with the second DVI connection.

I actually have to go out now. (Dog Training). Check out, say Toms Hardware at:

See George beginning to wave, while the UK begins to drown.

Cameron and Osborne put down the economic collapse in 2008 down to Labour government.

The cons have been in power for 5.5 years, so is he preparing for his place in history?

Is he preparing for his future failures?

Or, is he going to blame the immigrants for his problems this time?


Is this one going to be down to his cuts
