Can you run 2 computers on 1 monitor using dvi for one and analog for the other?
you can get a device called a KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switch which allows you to use 2 computers with a single monitor,keyboard and mouse and you can switch between the two computers.
The monitor has noway of deciphering the two signals coming in from the dvi and also the analog inputs. The monitor will only accept which input is set to priority. Which means you could use the monitor to make the switch by accessing the monitor settings and switching that way.

How do you build a multiple monitor computer?
If you haven't already, you will need to decide on the amount of multiple monitor displays you want or need. Picking a computer before you make up your mind about your display quantity is not recommended. This is because your graphics card configuration is dependent upon how many monitors you will be running.
Once you have decided the amount of monitors you want you can then select an appropriate computer system. You want to make sure that the RAM and the graphics card are 'up to snuff' with what you need your computer to do. You also want to make sure that all of the components going into your new PC are new and top of the line. Technology is constantly advancing, you don't want any parts that may have any new upgrades or have been discontinued.
Lastly is your hard drive and operating system. Computers that are going to be operating multiple monitors should come with at least a 500 GB hard drive. A 640 GB is recommended but you can start with the 500. The operating system is up to you. Some people prefer to stay with Windows XP and others have embraced the new Windows Vista.
Be sure to do your homework on all of the components that will be going into your new multiple monitor computer. You really need to have all the right equipment to drive the amount of monitors you are running. You wouldn't try to build a motorcycle with parts from a bicycle, would you?
I had some difficulty with this when I first decided to build my own multiple monitor computer. I found the guys at Multiplexpc.com to be extremely helpful. They explained all of the components to me and what exactly they did. I ended up purchasing my computer from them because they were just so helpful. Check 'em out!

How to setup two monitors with two separate graphics cards on one computer?
First, you have to have an SLI ready motherboard, got that, so far so good. Then you need 2 SLI ready graphics cards (use nvidia for graphics cards and motherboard for this), You got that, then connect the 2 graphics cards in the mother board, then connect them together using the bridge it comes with in every box for an SLI ready card. Then get your dual monitors and connect on to one graphics card then connect the other monitor to the other card. The bridge that connects the 2 graphics cards together makes the cards join together as if one big one. Hoping everything works out.
the mac laptops are the best because they are easy to figure out, and they come with all sorts of programs. If anything happens they will replace it or fix it pretty fast. They also offer classes at Mac stores (which are pretty much everywhere) if you want to know more about how to use them or if you want to learn about some programs that they offer. Macs are especially good for presentations because of all of the applications they offer (like powerpoint, iwork, entourage, excel, ect.) Also, Macs have something where you can switch your screen over to windows if need be (and you can switch between mac and windows whenever you want).
As for the choices of laptops that mac offers the macbook or macbook pro are the best, but if you wanted, you could get the macbook air if ur carefull with it-- cause if u drop it once it will most likely break. but if u drop a macbook or macbook pro (by accident of coarse) it doesnt break-- i mean like out of ur hands or off of ur desk or bed. :)

What are DVI KVM switches used for?

Can you connect a 6 outlet power bar to an extension cord?
There are several variables:
First and most important, what will be the current draw? If the total number of amps exceeds the rating of either the power strip or the extension cord you're creating a fire hazard.
Second, the wire gauge and length of the extension are important. You will loose voltage over distance and that is a function of the current draw, wire type and wire gauge. If you're trying to run 20 amps, don't use any less than a 12 gauge extension cord up to a maximum of 100 Ft. 15 amps, minimum 14 gauge.

Advantages and disadvantages of crt monitor?
There are no technical advantages to CRT monitors anymore.
The only thing they're good for is a cheap back up in case your LCD dies.
They can be had for as little as $5 at garage sales, and $20 at local computer stores, as well as free on curbsides and from businesses or friends who are upgrading or just have old stuff sitting around. Also, freecycle, here in the U.S., is always giving them away.
What accessory do I need to connect 2 monitors?
You can buy all manner of mounts and stands.Some of them are quite elaborate and quite expensive.In fact you can get a pretty nice monitor for less than many models.
There is no way to connect these two without spending around £60 on an adapter. It would be cheaper to buy a Freeview HD box, then connect this to the screen with HDMI.
How do you operate touch screen mobiles?
It Depends on the type of make you have. Since they are all differently manufactured, it is hard to say (it is for me at least)how to work them since you could have any of the iphone makes, or else a htc windows phone or android htc, or you could have a nokia windows phone. You could have anything. But you can ask at any mobile operator store such as vodafone, 3 or O2. You can ask them basically anything to do with phones (which makes sense becuase they do sell phones for a living!).
