Dude, don't even talk about "too many icons", My left screen is full, and my right screen has space for one more icon.
Streaming video is generally just "tolerable" for me -- I much prefer to download things at a higher quality whenever possible.
I tried downloading some AMVs in 1920x1080 because it was available. Unfortunately, my computer actually couldn't play them fast enough :/ Yes, I'm getting AMVs so big they are bigger than my entire screen, because I'm practically obsessed with video quality. I also like to make custom ffdshow profiles for different videos and such.
