We're getting them here in next month or two (if you want the setup and if you have/want a laptop) since it's time to ditch the 20 in. CRTs.
i want a second LCD screen i hate toggling between the laptop. so the firm pays for 2? I know DrKW had that because a colleague used to work there.
i have six screens
You're pretty cool. Thx
yeah, do you guys seriously only have one monitor?
i couldn't deal with less than 3, seriously. i couldn't do my job.
once again funny. Thx I guess people at Weisel need something to manage their ego.
i'm not kidding. maybe you've never seen a trading floor? i couldn't work with less than 3.
don't understand your weisel comment.
my bad you're in S&T? i thought you were a banker making some smart ass comment. I really do want another monitor is why, but getting pushback from the IT guys with 17 blackberries on their hip
yeah no worries. but seriously i'd think two would be the minimum, one for your outlook and one for excel?
my pricing sheets take up three, outlook reuters and bloomberg are another two and then there's some free space.
I use laptop for outlook and surfing the net its below viewing height in my cube. i use my monitor for work.
well that's like two screens i guess
I've got 4 21 inch LCDS at the office and just had to get 3 at home b/c two wasn't cutting it...
Yea i just want 2 real LCDs, laptop screen is stupid. and the IT guy is being a chump.
I do not know of any laptop that has the capability of driving two lcd panels. Some can drive 30" displays though, which in my opinion beats dual screen in most cases.
cus some kid bought his own.
What kind of actual hardward setups are you guys using other than monitors? Is a laptop the industry standard or are most people using desktops.
laptop is standard
GS uses desktops
people pick what they want, but new analysts/associates get laptops at training
i just hope i get to a point in my life where i don't really need a computer other than for e-mail purposes. it would make traveling easier + all i'd need is a Blackberry.
Do most BB Blackberrys have phone and email service or just email. The bank I interned at last summer only had blackberrys with email service.
