After a recent hardware survey of our equipment at work, I realized I was actually the proud owner of the oldest active system on the floor. This time, because Visual Studio uses up so much screen real estate, I spec'd out the largest monitor Dell sold that wasn't actually a TV screen. I now look out at the world through 32" 24" of 1900x1200 goodness. It's like I'm piloting a starship or something.
welcome to the club.
setting up PCs is fine, if all you want to do is word processing and spreadsheets.
networking is spiffy, if you want to send email and surf the web.
but if you have business to get done, you need the most important strata of IT, the software developers.
and if you get at least half-competant managers, they know this, and you get the toys. like monitors the size of the view screen on the bridge of the Enterprise. :-)
