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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

:-)

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.

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?

How old are the monitors?

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.

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.

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:

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

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the mass sexual assault of women by groups of men in Cologne is part of a pattern and suggested a possible link with migrants for the first time.
In her strongest comments yet on the New Year’s Eve incident in Germany’s fourth-largest city, Merkel said Thursday that the assaults touch on the “coexistence of cultures” in Germany and urged authorities to ensure that “everything is brought to light” in the investigation.

“The events there raise very serious questions that go beyond Cologne -- whether there are connections, common patterns of behavior and is there something like contempt for women among certain groups,” Merkel told a news conference in Berlin. “We’ll need to examine whether we’ve done everything that’s needed in terms of expulsions from Germany, so we send a clear signal to those who aren’t willing to obey our legal standards.”
Cologne police said Thursday they have received 121 criminal complaints from women who were attacked around the city’s main train station on Dec. 31, with about three quarters concerning alleged sexual offenses. Sixteen men, most of them from North Africa, have been identified as possible suspects, according to a statement on the Cologne police’s website. Police in Hamburg, Germany’s second-biggest city, said 70 women filed complaints saying they were sexually harassed on New Year’s Eve, mostly in the St. Pauli entertainment district.
“I don’t think that these are isolated cases,” Merkel said.
“The feeling among women of being unprotected and defenseless is unbearable

Maybe Cynic will believe Merkel , i don't think she belongs to a far right anti-immigration party
