| Jul 23, 2009 at 22:56 | comment | added | Alex | +1 for the whiteboard suggestion. This is especially useful if you're doing things that face users like UI. | |
| Jul 15, 2009 at 11:42 | comment | added | JeeBee | Well integrated virtual desktops on a 24" (or 30") monitor (Linux, Mac OS X) beat dual monitors of a slightly smaller size and no virtual desktop (Windows). I am only ever looking at one monitor at a time, it's just that switching applications in Windows sucks, and XP at work isn't getting upgraded soon. | |
| Apr 13, 2009 at 15:28 | comment | added | KyleFarris | Yeah, the whiteboard in my office is completely filled with notes and tasks I need to complete. Very useful. | |
| Apr 2, 2009 at 0:12 | comment | added | BenAlabaster | +1 I wish I had a whiteboard, I've got a cordless laser mouse which is great - even if it is my own. | |
| Jan 26, 2009 at 16:26 | comment | added | pi. | I can not work with 2 monitors, hurts my neck always looking left, right, left, right. I use virtual desktops (Linux). | |

| Dec 16, 2008 at 18:53 | comment | added | FryGuy | My workplace had the crappy ball-mouse that dell ships. I honestly thought laser mouses were cheaper to manufacture, but I guess I was wrong. Either that, or Dell is masochistic. I don't mind purchasing a mouse, so I bought one at Fry's | |
| Dec 3, 2008 at 19:53 | comment | added | Karl | I brought in my own mouse because the supplied one only had two buttons and a wheel. I cant believe youre using a ball! | |
| Oct 9, 2008 at 19:47 | comment | added | pmlarocque | yeah all workplace lack of whiteboard. | |
| Sep 25, 2008 at 20:18 | comment | added | moffdub | Yes Aydsman, it would be nice if they provided me with an optical mouse, but I should probably bring my own. But, I did bring in my own whiteboard markers. :) | |
| Sep 19, 2008 at 1:18 | comment | added | Aydsman | Jeff Atwood suggests that a keyboard and mouse are basic tools you should own yourself: codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000666.html (see point three) | |
