Enhanced Work Process…

May 22, 2007

I know… I’m retired.

I shouldn’t be writing about enhanced work processes.

However, if I had figured this out, when I was still working, it might have made a few things easier.

It’s very simple — just a second monitor.

However, the way that it works is to expand the desktop. Now I can have two different aps open full screen and use the mouse to drag and drop from one ap to the other — a lot less cutting and pasting.

I just finished redirecting all of my wife’s web pages from her old location to the new location — including checking each redirect worked — in a little over an hour. It would have taken twice as long before and would have been much more confusing and error prone. (Can you spell T-R-A-P… just kidding, guys).

Anyhow, if I would have had this before … oh, never mind. I would have had to have bought my own second monitor.

But I might have — I just might have.

You are very correct, except when you try to return to a single screen and your apps don’t realize you have changed! Happens in the simulator on the “remote” PCs’.

Thanks!

I’ll have to remember to move all of the apps over to the laptop before we leave for our next trip. I guess I just assumed it would “know what to do.”
