It sure is nice to work in a place with a lot of computers. Too bad i forgot my laptop at home, but i think that this is enough for now. If i have time i'll try uploading one with more than 16 monitors (including my laptop).

I hope this OK - there's a huge mess on my table, and the computer is pretty far from the monitor, so I should take a picture with half of the room to get them both in...

Happy? Not all forums are the same and unless I'm a regular I usually don't look into the cosmetic ways to post things. On the main forum I visit, they provide an "[IMGW]" tag which you can put around large pictures. It makes them a nice size for the thread with a tag below saying it's been resized. A simple click and it's enlarged.
 
I see you have now edited the pic to be a bit smaller :rolleyes:

You know we could use Topics such as these, to teach users how to post reduced size pics, like this:


First add the (reduced sized) pic using the "Insert image" button >
insertimage.gif

I then highlighted the entire link:

I then used the "Insert link" button >

To link to the larger pic: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/950160/TechSpotPic.JPG

And the result was this:

Click to Maximize < I added these words

Upon replying, the reduced sized pic above, plus embedded large sized pic was given ;)


Edit:
Actually members with low post count may not be able to provide [noparse][/noparse] links
I forgot about that

Edit2
Oh, ok, you have now done the above
As for "[IMGW]" tag, I might try to find out if we can add that here too

Well. I read the rules over and the first time I didn't see anything that said strongly it HAD to be by monitor count, so I thought i could do a VNC window to it...

Whatever. 2 22" monitors + 2 iPhone 3GS = 4 physical screens
18 VNC windows + 2 i phones = 20 techspot homepages

Seems lame someone can do a computer lab but you cant do windows.... whatever

"Gain eligibility by showing more than one screen in a single shot! For example, you can put 10 computer screens together and that will increase your eligibility ten fold! The cap for increasing your chances is 20 (the number of screens) but feel free to show off a hundred if that's as far as you can go. "

This rule clearly says more screens not windows. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
 
I've got a laptop and a mac mini and a wii that can also do it, but can't get them all in this pic, so here is just my desktops.
