Having just one screen per workstation is enough for most people. Everyone in the Pingdom office has two screens per workstation. We find that that is a nice sweet spot, with a good deal of screen real estate without taking up too much space.
But there are people out there who think having two screens isn’t enough. Not even close.
Let’s start counting…
Three screens
From Engadget. (Yep, that’s Al Gore.)
Four screens
From Don K.
Five screens
From The Contaminated.
Six screens
From Gizmodo.
Seven screens
From Pdxvampire.
Eight screens
From Benjamin Williams.
Ten screens
From Akihiko Murazumi.
Twelve screens
From The Contaminated.
Thirteen screens
Original.
And the winner is…
From Rebellious Arab Girl.
Now we just need a petition or something here at the office to convince the boss that we all need that last setup…

But in which country can we find the most secure websites in relation to population? The answer may surprise you.

The New England Patriots held what seemed to be a commanding lead (17-15) with five minutes left of Super Bowl XLVI last night. But the New York Giants came back and managed to win with 21-17.
As exciting as the game sounds, we missed the whole thing, instead spending our time watching the Superbowl.com website.
It turned out to be a rather dull thing to do because the site held up well and there was no downtime at all. The response time also didn’t give away anything significant in terms of online Super Bowl traffic.

A lot of those setups are monitors on multiple machines – it’s not the same. I want to see how many monitors people have on ONE computer.

Question: What purpose do all those screens serve? If they are on the same computer, why do you need to have so many screens? I have two computers at work and only one monitor that they share. I have to switch between them when I change computers. It works just fine and doesn’t take up any extra precious resources and energy, other than my own having to hit a switch from time to time.
