[QUOTE="Jolly_Blackburn, post: 5151744, member: 44101"] Best resource I've found on my laptop for games is built into OSX -- SPACES. With it you can set up as many virtual desktops as you want with a different app or doc active in each. One keystroke brings up a grid with all your virtual "spaces" -- click on one and it zooms in to the document you want. I set it up so I have the campaign map at full screen on on space, my combat spreadsheet on another, pdf with all the relevant tables on another, Adventure notes/room descriptions on another and so on. I've had up to a dozen screens sit up like this for an adventure. Hot spots in the corner of the screen bring up the Spaces grid and I simply click on the one I want and change at will. I use SPACES for virtually everything --work and play. ;) Even on my desktop computer where I have three monitors. Couldn't live without it. More info on it for those interested: [url]http://www.macworld.com/article/60693/2007/10/leopard_spaces.html[/url] It's one of those underused features of OSX a lot of folks aren't even aware of because you have to turn it on. A lot of folks who have watched me run a game think it's some sort of high end GM software and are surprised when I tell them how easy it is to set up. [/QUOTE]
