hamradio Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Didn't know a single computer can be virtually made into 2. Someone at work was doing 2 separate jobs independent. Used HDMI and Display port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used HDMI and Display port. This is just extending your desktop across multiple monitors. PCs have had this capability for quite some time. We had workstations that did this in the 1980s. All home computers multi-task and run multiple programs/applications simultaneously. Your operating system (Windows, Mac iOS, whatever) is actually a program itself. At any given time there's more than 100 processes in various states of execution even when you're not doing anything on the computer. The operating system controls all of this.

Yes I know about networking using separate terminals / computers connected to a mainframe but never 2 monitors in this fashion. Most computers I've encountered only had 1 port i.e. VGA.

Most computers I've encountered only had 1 port i.e. VGA. Wasn't talking about networking or timesharing. Desktops spanning more than one monitor go back to the 80s on high end workstations. We had ones similar to this Intergraph workstation, but with 25" monitors. PCs have had multiple monitor port types since they started supporting HDMI in the early 2000s. They retained VGA while adding HDMI, to support older VGA-only monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamradio Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 We mostly know Julia Child from her cookbooks, TV shows but how many knew her early career was being a spy during WWII and help to create shark repellent.

The Reliant was simply an "upside down" star ship. The lab at Regula 1 stinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
