The glories of technology

So, I picked an S-video cable to connect my lappy to the tv so I can watch movies and whatnot up there. BUT then I figured out that I don't have to just choose which screen I'm watching on, I can use both! There's a little check box in the display properties asking if I want to use the second monitor as an extension of my desktop. So of course I said yes and now, if I drag the mouse off the left edge of the Lappy screen, it shows up on the tv! I know this old hat to some people out there but it is pure magic to me. So I can watch downloaded anime and blog at the same time! It's no flying car, but the future is still pretty cool
