And so after over 2 years....

Nice!

Rain, that is awesome. What is the resolution?

I don't know if this will become a problem for you but... at the first sign of new headaches or neck aches, lower that monitor so that you do not have to look up  at it. If you aren't careful you may find yourself 'craning' your neck when you're really into working on a project (even if you don't really need to, it is a natural thing to do). If you do that you can get cervical spine damage before you know it. You may be doing it for 10 hours or longer, day after day. I learned that the hard way I let myself get in a bad habit and didn't know it was going to hurt me, now the damage is done. I was using bifocals and they made me crane my neck ever worse. I was using a similar desk, smaller monitor though Maybe with a monitor that size you can train yourself to never lean forward.

Anyway, what a nice gift! You better never forget a birthday or anniversary, laff!
I'd take a hint from her when trying to buy a gift for her... she is practical. Forget the jewelry etc and get her practical gifts too (no, not an iron or vacuum cleaner, ). I've found that my wife likes a spa day or 2 hr massage better than anything, a weekend at a spa with both of us is what she likes best. You really have a good wife, she cares about what you do, that is really special. Thanks for sharing, you made my day.

 Things are looking up for you man...congrats!

Very nice.  

Thanks guys. :) Julien - 1920x1080. And yeah, that's something I realized the minute I placed it on the shelf. Made that mistake once, I'm so not going there again. As for gifts, unfortunately, I'd have to borrow money from her to buy her presents. I had to quit my day job when we went on tour and I can't legally work here in the US w/ my current visa.

See, it'd be hard to surprise her because she's the one driving (though I intend to finally get my license this year). And these days, w/ her schedule of 8-10 shows a week, on the days off, she usually just want to stay quiet. But I do try to take good care of her and to make sure that she never has to worry about anything around the house. I guess I'm the housewife...

Very nice - I have a 24 incher too
 
 

Since I also write and record music for her all by myself, I had settled for "houseband". :P

Yep. The plan is to move the laptop out of the way - I'll probably get one of those little laptop cart which I could place on my left. I had also planed on getting a full-size Apple Keyboard. I'm hoping to have as little on my desk as possible. Even the compressors, preamp and little mixer which are currently under the shelf will probably be moved somewhere else. BTW - Sorry for all the single paragraphs today - I can't post using Safari and FF, well, FF sucks.

You could order something on line.

I only wanted more room under mine but now I find myself putting it into all sorts of different tilts and rotations depending on what I'm working on.  I wouldn't be without it anymore!

Reminds me of when we had one of the first microwaves and my Mom said she didn't see any use for it - until she started using it - lol!

Mine's a 30 incher.


I'm not braggin' or anything like that.

Rain's wife... YOU RAWK!

Indeed. ;)

I finally hooked it up.


DUDE!!


That's like 27 mixer channels in tabbed view!!! 30 in mixer view w/ rooms for tons of inserts and sends. :P


BTW, I'm kinda glad that I didn't pay the extra for super fast-shipping for my adapter. I would have received it, uh, today...
