I got a 37" HDTV for Christmas.  My monitor went out the month before and I borrowed my son's.  I told my wife I was going to use the TV for the computer.  TV has four HDMI inputs and I just need to find a cable long enough to reach the computer.

I actually went and bought a 52" for the computer for slower games like WITP and have the 24" high speed for other things. Sitting anywhere in the room (spare bedroom turned into computer / office room you can read anything in with at 1920...

I have not used the other monitor in 9 months...

New vegas is fun at 6' on a 52" screen too. BUT WITP is so much better when it takes 4' and displays so many hexes... really gives the feel when it takes several days for a task force to move across the screen.

I absolutely agree, zace! Seeing a much larger chunk of the map at one time like that really drives home the scale of the War in the Pacific!

Back to the idea of moving supplies from Burma to China by sucking them up, is there a guide somewhere on the exact method for doing that? I have tried a bit, but it seems to get stuck in Kunming at about 15,000, and never go up or get across to the other Chinese cities. Do I just wait longer, or turn the need down in Kunming below that of the next cities in line, and hope for the best?

If you are getting the supplies to move all the way to Kumming, you have made it past the hard part.  You can only get around 300 or so supply points to move over the trail through the mountains per day, if you have any patch level installed.  I believe these limits were added in the first patch to slow down the express freight trains carrying supplies in these areas. 

And, yes, if you have a surplus of supplies at Kumming now, make sure you drop the supply request levels of bases back down the trail so they won't draw supplies, and then drop the supply request level at Kumming.  They should be drawn into other bases in China over a couple of turns.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
