In This Issue
Denny Linzmaier once again showed his skills and flair in
Computer Technology by showing how to couple up two monitors
using an extra PCI graphics card with 32MB RAM in a Dell desktop
computer. To illustrate to our members present at the meeting,
Denny implemented two projectors, instead of using two monitors to
enlarge the demonstrations. After changing the settings in the
Display Properties to get the correct resolutions on both monitors,
Denny showed how to drag and drop files from the one screen to the
other. Denny had on hand a Belkin 2 port switch box, which enables
two computers to work together. Hitting the scroll lock on the
keyboard enabled Denny to use the arrow keys to move a file from
the one screen to the other.
After the coffee break, Denny then discussed the linking of the two
computers by means of network cards and cable and then ran a piece
of useful software called WinVNC. The VNC viewer was installed
on the second computer, which then enabled the one computer to
control the second computer and we saw that the mouse ran on both
computers. Thanks Denny for your very interesting presentation.
