They used to be called mercury
switches
They just give out a contact closure
when
at the right angle
And would do exactly what we
want
I suppose it would be easy enough to
sense
this and fire off the relevant hot key press

All we need now is some sort of widget that sticks to the back
of
the LCD monitor that detects via a reed switch(?) landscape or portrait
orientation and automatically changes the software. I would pay $$$ if
someone
could come up with something.

I'm sure that I will. My current monitor is an Iiyama, and
I've been really happy with it. My cleaner's daughter is going to
be very happy on Thursday evening (she's only got a 15" monitor at
the moment, and I'm giving her the outgoing 17" CRT).
To be honest I could have bought cheaper, but I wanted a USB
hub
plus the portrait option, and I knew that with Iiyama I'd be buying
quality.
Tim.

I can tell you who the purchase goes, 'cos I've already done
that
bit J
If I'm lucky and it arrives tomorrow I can tell you what the
monitor's like though J
