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…

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock lately, you’ll know that last week Apple announced the iPad, its new tablet device. Reactions have been a mixed bag, and a storm of discussion has swept through the blogosphere about various features the iPad should or shouldn’t have had.
One of the main complaints so far has been the iPad’s lack of multitasking. (To be precise, multitasking is a bit of a misnomer here; the iPhone OS has multitasking. What people really mean is only allowing one app at a time to run.)

The tech industry is littered with billionaires. We all enjoy a good income, but some clearly have earned more than others. Much, much more. The question is, how much money do the really big names in tech actually have?

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.
