Re: [Trion-kernel-dev] More resources

[JaeHyun R. <wo...@gm...>]

interesting idea to think about :)

It's just like a view port concept in game programming world.
deviding screen as a several view, and display a different context for each
view... :)

But I wondering that there is any needs to use the same physical monitor
more than one person.
There are situations that the monitor is not insufficient. But, when more
than one person shares the same physical monitor
in the same time, I think it's inconvinient unless there are very large
screen to using as monitor... :)

Anyway, It could be a quiet interesting idea to implement :)
Good :)

good night ^^...
