Yeah, I know all about those, and have worked on most of them. You forgot supercomputers, mini-computers, etc., but none of those are used for personal Web browsing, listening to music, or (heaven help us) YouTube sound tracks. Most don't even have a place to plug speakers in.

I'm not anxious to spend the money to find out how they look on i(anythings). Google has moved me to their new (in development) "Mobile First" spider, which has found no serious problems and very few (and declining) minor issues. The site still works a hell of a lot better on a full screen, and is impossible to make significantly better on mobile devices. A little more than 1/3 of my visitors are desktops, and maybe 5 to 7 are tablets.

Desktop computers? Is there some other kind? - (Andrew Grygus) - (27) - June 9, 2020, 11:02:17 PM EDT

Servers, workstations, mainframes, embedded ... Yeah, quite a few other kinds. -NT - (drook) - (4) - June 10, 2020, 12:52:16 AM EDT

With desktop peripherals, laptops/notebooks ARE desktops. - (CRConrad) - (21) - June 11, 2020, 05:56:18 AM EDT

"install a dual monitor video card"... When was this, in 1987? - (CRConrad) - (17) - June 11, 2020, 05:59:45 AM EDT

A lot of desktops have embedded video. - (static) - (16) - June 11, 2020, 11:49:31 PM EDT

Looking at the back of mine ... - (drook) - (7) - June 12, 2020, 12:22:26 PM EDT

OK, no USB Type C, of course... But no DisplayPort (2007) or HDMI (2003)? Or even DVI (1999)?!? -NT - (CRConrad) - (6) - June 12, 2020, 05:19:07 PM EDT

Notebooks here are starting to come with HDMI . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - (4) - June 12, 2020, 07:08:16 PM EDT

My work laptop has only one HDMI port - (pwhysall) - (3) - June 13, 2020, 02:27:24 AM EDT
