This is usually a cable problem. Try adjusting the VGA cable, especially if it's in a bind somewhere. Alternatively, switch to DVI. It will make your eyes want to explode somewhat less. :)

I'd switch to DVI in a heartbeat if I had a DVI out on my laptop. :rolleyes:

Interesting conversation w/son this morning -- he seems to be getting educated in advanced 'chemistry' in the 'counseling' sessions he was assigned to - yep, tax dollars at work!:eek::rolleyes:

I think most threads in TS&S would fit the bill nicely. :D

The staff of Hyatt proper seem to truly love the organization and opportunities.

Docking stations/port replicators are not company approved/supplied equipment. If I want to buy one out of my own pocket I suppose I could. :rolleyes: that though. It's kinda pathetic how equipment is allocated/provisioned for us considering it's more or less a software development organization. :rolleyes:

In any event I jiggled the cable and the wavyness went away. :-:

That thread is surprisingly civil. The OP is out of his depth, but the jackals seem to be restraining themselves.

I hear you. I had to buy one for my company laptop (though it was only $20 since the laptops they're giving us were made in 2003. :-:). My client laptop is pretty snazzy though, replete with docking station and carrying bag that will fit both my laptops in it for travel. ^

Three thoughts:

If you don't want to do it, don't do it.

If your heart isn't in it, then it will not be a fun project for you.

A job done poorly is worse than a job not done at all.

To my mind, this is the key issue. If you hate managing people, and don't necessarily want to be a manager, and prefer to do your own thing, would this outweigh the potential long-term benefit from the visibility this project would provide?

On the other hand, given my career choices, I wouldn't suggest taking career advice from me. :rolleyes:

Agree on all counts.

but, also consider the bigger picture. What is it that you want to do longer term? Will this assignment act as a stepping stone or will it pigeon-hole you? Will you gain valuable experience from the new role that will help you in you future roles?

Thanks for the feedback. I think right now I'm going to my hotel, call the S.O. and talk about it, then think about it some more over dinner and generous quantities of alcohol, and finally sleep on it.

Later, Box.

That is kinda sketchy. I'm pretty sure laptop docks are default for us at work. I'll know on Monday when I trade in my 3-year old laptop for a new model.
