Re: [Avid-L2] Editing on your feet

Great point Michael about the angle of view for the client. Hopefully by
making the client monitor more of a focus in the room they can stay on that
rather than splitting time between that monitor and my displays. Also, my
thinking is that by standing it will be even easier to interact with them by
standing side saddle when talking rather than them looking at the back of my
head so much. Thanks for chiming in.
