Oh no, DON'T get _different_ monitor sizes!  That would really make
the stereo pairs look funny! (Are your eyes different sizes?  I don't
recall...)

Wouldn't it be better to get a computer with two very SMALL monitors,
maybe ones with a vertical aspect ratio?

I'm sure you (George) could shine 'em up real nice and put a noble
metal cathode in the tubes to make them MUCH more brighter...

Of course you could get two computers and hook the up side by side,
but John B. would be quick to tell us your data wouldn't really
look like the real thing - even if you sat in fron of it in that
very special of places where things look real - (the Otto seat?)

Don't start crticising old computers just because the keys and buttons
are in funny places... or because they're heavy...

Some monitors may vignette at certain operatives, but if you squint,
it shouldn't be too bad.
You'll have to format your own data though.  The places that do it
for you won't get it right if you use your spreadsheets for projections.

Above all, keep asking questions and try to disregard answers like this.

Remember to be understanding of others and keep in mind that no matter
what Monsanto may have said, Chemistry doesn't always lead to a better
life.

Say 'Good-night,' Gracie - and take your medication.
