    Is that a *Newton* on his desk (lower left)?!? And is that somehow not an 8th screen?

    An engineer at my office has a similar setup (just monitors, no televisions), but they're all plastered with small-font code.

    That's no engineer's desk. Where are the dried cola stains with embedded chip crumbs?

    I'm down with two 30" Cinema displays... or even four if you went vertical. Have two at work and home. A lot of screen real estate makes a big difference and numerous studies have proven that.


    Two HDTVs on the same channel and two other screens you can't even see from your desk? Not so much.

    @Stream Of Consciousness: No kidding. I get into enough trouble with one lousy little 20" monitor and a 4 year old CPU.
