Have a good day … 

*        I know I’m coming from the point of an amateur writer, Olga‡ … but I’ve had a two monitor set up for a while, and found it very useful.   I’m also thinking three will be even handier: as it means less toggling between virtual desktops.

†        Apparently, Debbi^?   Wyngarde’s character in Department S and Jason King was a novelist who picked up ideas working for the group.   All this … and an impressive moustache … !

‡        I don’t know if you use virtual desktops, Olga, but they’re handy, as well.   they’re built into Windows 10, if that’s what you’re using.

^        I don’t know if you’d go for Them, Debbi, but an extra monitor comes in handy!
