Heh. I like this version better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dABcmAbm-fk

You're right. That is a better version full of wonderful little "Gems" from cinematic history.

I'd forgotten how great Tracy Butler's stuff is. I haven't read Lackadaisy in years.

I trust you're going to rectify that error.

A century of Ivy! You just want a little Pepper on your eggs... Or perhaps, horseradish?

My new Minotaur is 32" wide -- that would be hard to double, much less triple...

Well, you can fit all of Ivy onto one screen, there. :)

While it's not my primary keyboard, I have the very same model of Logitech media keyboard as a spare. <3 I've been experimenting with a secondary monitor, or getting one going; working out that having a 'cloned' desktop can be difficult if your primary monitor is at 1920x1080p, but both of the second-hand, gently-used flatscreen monitors you've tried both have upper limits of 720p natively. I do have a workaround that will do me better: an HDMI-to-composite-RCA converter box, with its own resolution scaling controls. I can send out a signal at 1080p, and scale it to 720p at the 'box, and it will likely look better than if I crammed a 720p desktop onto either of the flatscreen TVs I've tried.

I measured the distance needed for the HDMI cable to go from my computer's graphics board, across my doorframe and room (no tripping hazards) to the converter box by the power point (to power both the converter box and the TV), and a second RCA 3-cable from the 'box to the flatscreen TV, and it will be more than long enough to do it. I haven't set that up yet, but it's planned out for when the mood strikes me. ^_^

Since then, I've switched to a Gateway keyboard (via a USB to PS2 adapter)...

Sounds like one helluva rig, there. ^.^

Thank you kindly, good and righteous fellow desktop warrior! <3 My current beast is about 8 years old, almost right on the dot, but she's had considerable workhorse staying power and beefy resource headroom when she was built. I'm very happy I picked the video boards I did; two GTX770s in SLI, specifically the eVGA Classified factory overclock with four 4GBs of video RAM, rather than the more frequent 2GB the 770's manufacturers put aboard them. SLI doesn't double the VRAM to 8GB, but instead heartily improves how fast the 4GB can be written to, written off and refreshed with two boards working in tandem.

Her system RAM is 32GB, again, at the time that was a bit hefty, but oh, it's been worth it since then. Again, very good staying power, and short of a handful of very recent and demanding games, almost every computer game I enjoy she can handle fine at 1920x1080p, frequently with the graphics' settings in-game beefed up. The keyboard I have now is a recent purchase, a Corsair model that needs a powered USB port, so even with a PS/2 adapter it wouldn't function properly. When I sit down to do my writing for a good few hours at a stretch, I plug in a gift a local friend passed my way, a Redragon Surara mechanical keyboard, with the smoothest and quietest touchtyping I've ever enjoyed on a modern computer keyboard.

Both of my video boards have a HDMI out- can only use one board's ports if they're in active SLI, tho'- and the one HDMI out I can use will be heading out via HDMI cable to the converter box. The bigger of the two flatscreen televisions I have, and the one I intend to use, was given to me by two neighbours and friends last November, with confirmation that it worked just fine, and a working remote into the bargain. I'm looking forward to watching movies and television with my brother again up in my room! <3
