-- You're welcome! -- As to pivoting feature, I've got along with my
Samsung monitor (213t) a program for that. In that times, approx. a
year and half ago, there wasn't no pivoting feature included in Matrox
Powerdesk yet, indeed. But they added the feature later and yes, this
is far more convenient.
Yes, Powerstrip is one of very useful utilities! Sometimes such
software is a must if you're at DVI which, apart of brightness, hardly
lets you control anything. But for the most part, nothing is needed,
too.
