I really enjoy the "wrap around" feel of it. As a side note look for a goofy tall red headed guy with glasses on saturday, it's really cool you are taking the whole fam. I go almost every year.

That sounds too much for me too. Well, the Apple monitor is a loaner, so I don’t want to get used to it yet.

Everytime I've expanded my monitor setup, I didn't like having to move my head back and forth or up and down to cover the new real estate, and I strongly considered going back to my old setup. BUt within a couple of days, I naturally adjusted, and have been happy since. <br/><br/>This has happened when I went from having one 23" to two 23" monitors, and it also happened a year later when I swapped one of the 23s for a 30" Cinema Display.
