How Many Computer Monitors Do You Use?
I'm a busy gal, and most of the time find myself working wherever I can — on the couch, on the train, anywhere I can find a WiFi signal. But when I'm at the office, I like to not only use my laptop monitor, but hook it up to my cinema display and double my desktop real estate. When I'm at home?
It's What You've Been Waiting For: BSG, the Complete Series

Dear geeksugar,
I use three computers. I have a desktop with all my old data, a laptop for home use and a work computer. Over the last couple of years my music library has spread across all three machines.

I guess I spoke too soon when I said that President Barack Obama has been keeping a low tech profile, because last week I was surprised when the White House added exclusive up close and personal photos of the president's first 100 days in office to its Flickr photo stream.
