[fpc-other] Awesome desktop layout for programming

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

I've read a article on 'Coding Horror' and thought I would try it out
for a day. Rotate your desktop (and screen) by 90 degrees. That gives
me 900x1440 resolution on my LCD display.

This is pretty awesome for reading FPC documentation, websites or
viewing source code! I now have almost 90 lines of code I can see all
at once. Plus our projects have rather a lot of units, so having an
enlarged Project Inspector windows is pretty great too.  :-D

Here is a screenshot of what I see:

Alternatively, you can go the other way. 3 LCD monitors in a
horizontal position. But I still like the extra vertical space I have,
which a horizontal layout will not provide.
