sheeple for not turning widescreen monitors sideways
Why on Earth would I want to do that? By keeping it horizontal I can see two pages of the book I’m reading at once, as I would if I was reading a printed copy!
I’ve noticed a lot of older users tend to have only one application maximized on their screens. I suspect that’s because they got used to using computers when displays were smaller and it was impractical to keep more than one application open on the desktop. These days displays are huge and cheap, so most people use them with the originally intended “desktop metaphor”. Like widescreen monitors, desks are typically wide rectangles, that let you view multiple documents/applications at a time.
