CT Only: *Slaps top of Ultrawide monitor*

Just reminds of back in the day when for a project, we got some 20" monitors, we're talking tube monitors.

Before the install, we plonked one on one of our desks.

We used it to work on our mini computer, a 20" monitor with an 80x25 character screen.

The letters were HUGE!

And, yea, there was a bit of "post-real-estate let down" when we went back to the standard 12" monitors we normally used.

Moving those monitors, I almost blew out my back. Boy were they heavy.

For real. I've been in Software Engineering for just long enough to have seen the latest round of massive monitor size increase (too young to have used tube monitors for work, but I gamed on them when I was a kid). Once I got one of these ultrawides, it's made everything smaller feel way too small.
