I use a pair of 24" widescreen monitors and have them angled where the monitors meet. Otherwise the far corners are further away than the centre of the "screen". I guess a curved 48" or 54" monitor would achieve the same result.

Unfortunately, 34" is the only size in computer monitors and it's about 32" wide.
I would love it if they made on 48" wide (Ultra Ultra Wide). I've considered getting a second monitor, but it would take up 64" and that is a lot of desktop space.
It also be nice if they increased the rate of the curve on a monitor that large, going for the wrap around effect.

Yes; I'm sure eventually we'll get to the size we want. Until then, 34" is indeed about as good as it gets.

I have the Dell version of that one at home and I'm very happy with it. The work on is the flat 34" LG.
Originally at work I had two pretty crappy monitors and a huge bezel between them. The UW gave up maybe a few pixels on the sides (as I said crappy), but the lack of bezel just makes it so easy to use. Of course, the prior ones weren't IPS and the color accuracy was absolutely terrible so when writing proposals and putting in graphs or pictures I had no clue how they would look in print until I got someone to print it on a nice printer.
I think you're right about the aspect ratio. I think that the human eye is more suited to looking at things left and right instead of up and down so it makes sense. It does mean that I put my start bar on the left though.

I have a 34" flat one at work and a 34" curved one at home. I don't know how to describe it very well, but the curved one seems easier to see. On the flat one I have to let my eyes refocus more when I'm going to the far edges and I don't notice it nearly as much on my one at home. It isn't saving me seconds, but I think it might save me some eye fatigue. I'm not sure though.

Does the word "caterwauling" translate into Dutch?

I agree completely, like a cat yowling at the moon.

I await your list of the 5 to 10 best female vocalists of the past 20 years so that we have an idea of what your baseline for comparison is.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

I wasn't using a baseline, merely listening to the Youtube video. I must admit I did not listen to the whole thing, half a minute was more than enough.

Ah. The Grumpy Old Man setting!
It would still be interesting to know to whom you would listen for more than 30 seconds. Actually, hold that thought, let's ask everybody. There's not been nearly enough dissent and flamethrowing this week!

Here are a few in no particular order:
Debbie Harry (Blondie)
Enya
Emma Kirkby
Jacqui Abbott (The Beautiful South)
Joan Baez
Maria Callas
Norma Waterson

Much as I hate to agree with you on anything, I'm gonna have to concede that yours is the more accurate assessment here!

Did you... Did you just give me a COMPLIMENT!?
Please don't do this too often, I might feel guilty about not liking you!
Thanks man!

Could you distill that for me a bit, and also include the recipe for what you are drinking.
thanks, Bill

In my opinion, this is catchy tune, and I do like dance music, but when you read the lyrics, they read as though an idiot wrote them. Gawd, I hope Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is not an idiot.

Not at all. All those clever references to classic cinema. Genius!
