LOL and I thought I was bad. The only thing I hate about switching to multi-monitors is u feel helpless when ur on someone else's single-monitor PC... And the fact that they're like tattoos. You get one, and soon you'll have as many as you can afford. LOL

Running Ubuntu Studio (10.04) Left side is VMWare running Windows XP, a couple Firefox windows on op-amps, Amarok MP3 player, and google Desktop Sidebar with my gmail and such, and my TV tuner. (on NBC currently)

Right ride is a couple more firefox windows (including this one) an Xchat window, Thunderbird E-Mail, a blank text file for notes, Synaptic, and Eclipse Development Environment. (Java)

Are you talking the tabs and programs I openned today or include ones from days before which have no idea what I was doing?

It depends...are the ones from the days before STILL open? If so, then you can count them.

I won't be able to post here in the future without joining the group. But, for now...

damn, I'm always battling tabs. I only reboot once in two or three weeks typically, and the browser is always open. I tend to leave tabs for stuff I want to "get back to" and that often leaves them for weeks on end. The result is panning right to left because there are too many tabs to display without scrolling. Ah, well, ain't it grand though? I mean, that my previous thoughts are even possible. :)

I have 8 tabs on my phone browser all ECF. The TV going and 4 programs going on the computer, editing ebooks, music, my resume, and playing solitare. So how many tabs do you have open and programs running? Ooooh and I want to be the Sock monkey from the Kia Sorento commercial. :p

Sounds like a typical day at my house drives my wife nuts that I can surf watch TV and talk to her all at the same time
