6 monitors on one machine.  This computer also has two keyboards and
two mice.  The monitors are on  two 5 foot banquet tables.  I run three
other
computers as well for a total of 11 monitors.  I make the cursor Really big.
The cursor is just used to swap back in forth between my rows of workspaces.
Yes, I've thought of the radiation.  That's why I believe in quality
monitors with
current TSCO stantandards.  I opted for the Viewsonic "19er's and some 21s.

To network the several computers and share a single cable internet
connection
I used the following software (SYGATE.com) .  This is some of the best money
I've spent on software.  I thought it would be helpful to share.

It allows networking several computers and sharing the same internet
connection.
there are some 'free ware' that does almost the same thing, but the one time
inexpensive cost of this premium software is well worth it.
