I also run a seperate computer for keeping the web site up while flying. Also, I run WideClient from the other computer for the AirSource program. I have attached a few pictures of my setup. If it wasn't for AirSource I would have never gone this far into this setup, but AirSource is a very enyjoyable and GREATplace to be. Have to blame it on someone...LOL.

I look forward to continuing many more years here at AirSource.
HAPPY FLYING!!!!!!

Hi Greg,

Your set up is great. Can I ask how you mount\support the monitors above the main 3 on your desk?

I have 3 monitors on TH2GO and I'd love to have one, or two above them.

Thanks,
Ian
