UK telex was all 50 baud (the US had 75). I used to work on telex machines which were amazing bits of kit, full of cams, latches, bellcranks and pawls.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

I'm sorry, but anything over two makes you a poser.

I have 7 - I ran out desk space as well!
I develop for multiple browsers and need to have at least four open at once. Then add VS, CP, email, task manager, file manager, services and a service debug window and I barely have enough room on 7! No posing involved - my boss/colleague has eight - he has a special stand that allows a two-high arrangement - and my other developer colleague has 6 (he's not on CP, poor guy).
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

It's not the size of your monitors, you know, it's what you do with them...

A small monitor well used may indeed be a better proposition than a larger one used poorly.
However, an an beatable combination is a large monitor used well.

Got two, but prefer size over amount.

A few days ago I posted about a study on alcoholism conducted by a Dr. Brewer.
Just now, the ENIAC threads got me interested in seeing what sort of simulators there are out there. I came across this[^] (not really what I was looking for) but note:
The author is Jose Valverde. Fascinating, as another name for a vacuum tube is "valve" in British English.

It's amazing how far we've come.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Yeah, but having something named after you is not the same thing. Unless of course you are referring to the fact that high current AC "hurts"

It's Amazing the irony you get with names.
For Example did you know that the owner of Dyson is a James Dyson. Freaky.

He is.

And you wouldn't believe the name of the guy who started Ford Motors!

It's the Johnny-come-lately "American English" that needs a determinant adjective.

Well, I know it's a fact, because it was programmed into the first computer.

As any fule no, the first programmable electronic computer was the Colossus, not the ENIAC as that site tries to claim.
It's influence was limited as it was covered by the UK's official secrets act for far too long.
