Mary isn't the only one who is contrary. I was made fun of for my work station in my home office. You see, I have a habit of using my right hand to draw and my left on a computer mouse. Now, that's not to say I don't use my right hand for the mouse...I just switch it up a bit. Hopefully I won't get carpal tunnel syndrome, or the worst would be I get it in both hands. Anyway, it works for me.
Most people who do graphics work on the computer use a large 21" Cinque, and, if you read my blog with any faithfulness, you know my struggle to get something comparable, yet more inexpensive. I made a decision on a 13" HD, and am well pleased. It fits my space and I can dump all my menus and tools onto a preexisting monitor where they are
larger and more visible than if they encroaching on my work-stage.
You can see I share one mouse pad between two systems, and that works well for me too. Go figure...
UPDATE: I found having the keyboard to the side a big inconvenience, and caused me to twist uncomfortably. But, by adding some Velcro to the back of my keyboard and the riser the monitor sits on, I can mount the keyboard comfortably in front of me. I also added mouse pad so I'm not sharing anymore.
