My New Year's Resolution is 800 x 600.
The desktop is currently a Big Blue Brick, as mentioned previously.
I'm working from my 2001-vintage IBM Transnote, a funky little specialized laptop that's nto well-suited as a desktop substitute. For those tasks that require a screen bigger than 800x600, I'm using quelonzia's iMac.
Since I am still stuck in "consulting" mode (i.e., lots of hunt, not much job), and since Further Confusion is right around the corner, it's going to be a long while before I can remedy this situation.
Weep not for Your Obedient Serpent, however. I find this strangely liberating. The Transnote screen tightly restricts my ability to multi-task -- and so I find myself doing one thing, actually getting it done, and then moving onto the next, rather than my usual state of Doing So Much I Do Nothing At All. My years and years of bookmarks are locked onto my old hard drive, paring the time I waste web surfing to a minimum.
Needless to say, Second Life would make this poor thing explode like a breached warp core.
If I had actively resolved to "waste less time online" in the New Year, I could not have devised a better way to accomplish that goal.
