I use my iPad to visit Daniweb occasionally, but posting is a bit of a chore.

I never use a laptop -- hate them. I just use a regular HP PC.

I access DaniWeb from my iPhone when away from the office, just to keep an eye on things. Most of the time I use my lappy.

AD: what is this 'PC' thing you speak of? You are taking the 'ancient' thing too far my friend :)

My PC is HP desktop computer and 19" monitor. Ancient?? I just bought it a few years ago :)

You should look into a dual-monitor configuration. I switched to it about a year ago and I'm SOOOO glad I did. I have an HP with dual flatscreen 19's at work, a really old Dell desktop with a single flat 21 at home. I'm saving my nickels and dimes for a second monitor at home because I like it so much at the office.

I don't have to real estate for two monitors. I don't need a monitor for each eyeball :)

Using phone and start posting in daniweb is a bit of trouble. AS you can see the phone screen is small and makes it hard to tap on the screen and in this post i spell phonr instead of phone.

I sometimes use my Kindle xD. It is really slow though lol, and I do it only when I am really bored.

BlackBerry sucks. Not just DW on BlackBerry, EVERYTHING webwise on BlackBerry sucks. Are you listening RIM?? It's a load of pants. Zoom, wait 2 minutes for scripts to load and page to render (again), Zoom, wait 2 minutes for scripts to load and page to render (again), Zoom, wait 2 minutes for scripts to load and page to render (again). Finally it's at a setting that allows you to interact with the page. Like I said, load of pants. It can't handle the purple bar at the bottom either. Trying to get 'Threads I've Posted In', forget it.

I do use my phone occasionally but thats when am extremely bored. Its a hard work, especially when you want to select text and place them in QUOTE blocks......if you achieve this, pls let me know how.

Member Avatar for jingda

You can see how difficult using a phone ( with such a puny screen ) to post. Look at the thread title, I can even misspelled the phone;)

I tried using my Galaxy Tab once and found it very difficult to post anything, lots of misspelled words that were difficult if not impossible to correct.

Well I currently have dual monitors and it's great. So great I'm saving up for a third. Perhaps I should get bigger monitors too because 19" wide screen lcd for each monitor is kinda tiny. I would prefer 28" dual but that's rather expensive so the alternative for me is to get a third monitor. I hear you can get monitors that are powered by usb cables and purely run on the usb port these days (eg, no serial cable). However their limited to about 8 inch. I think I'll get one of them and put it beside one of my monitors.
