Four monitors. Please. I can't even make my wireless router work.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
LOL. I would love two monitors at work though. They say two monitors can increase your productivity by 66%.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A guy at a client's office has eight monitors.
My boss said I could have more monitors if I wanted, but so far I haven't checked to see if I can install more graphics cards on my work computer.

Up to three can be pretty easy to do, there are a lot of video cards that will drive three monitors at once. Put in a single video card and just plug all three in.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have just learned from an NPR podcast that "my diamond shoes are too tight" is from a Friends episode. I did not know that.

I did! However, I have a Friends problem.

Email goes up on the left, other applications on the right. Works like a charm.
No no, that's all backwards!
(Actually the real reason email is on the right for me is that the right-side monitor is bigger. Main/left is the laptop screen, and I'd rather have, say, THIS window on the smaller screen in my open-plan office. Work email front and center makes me look busy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My laptop only supports one other monitor, hence it's only two for me. But fuck, I was impressed when it supported it. They drive a really high resolution, even if the laptop screen isn't that great.
Most of my coworkers don't use both screens--everyone has a laptop and a monitor.
Boy, did I cry when they took my 22 incher away. I miss that baby.
