CRT monitors? Well, somehow, every time we get a hardware budget, it seems to get spent on other things. We actually just did a major upgrade earlier this month. Those cases you see are pretty old, but they're filled with bleeding edge stuff. We bought lots of CPUs and RAM, terabyte HDs, latest video cards, newer bigger pen tablets, etc. Somehow, when we were done, we just didn't have anything left for monitors. Again.
sure, wasn't knocking anyone for developing on XP if I gave that impression, I use XP myself. DX10 isn't that much of an improvement to take the performance hit, Soooo glad I didn't get Vista when everyone else was upgrading.
