Cool new toy

I just acquired a second flat panel display for my computer at home. Not just a flat panel, but a wide screen flat panel. It's a 20" Dell monitor, and you should see the renderings I can do with it!

I did have a couple of minor problems at first trying to get its resolution set properly, but for whatever reason ... my system just seemed to correct all its problems, and now I have my old 17" monitor at 1280 x 1024 (as it has always been), and my new monitor at 1680 x 1050. Even my Home Designer Pro 7.0 CAD program uses the monitor, and I get some pretty cool renderings (well, they're wider than the old ones by about 400 pixels).



The image above (click on it for the full sized thing) is one of my old house designs I'm in the process of updating and outfitting "to my current standards". Of all my really old designs, this one is probably my favorite. Stay tuned, this one should be completed (again) and posted to my web site.
