Well, there do exists touch screen monitors. Though they are a bit on the expensive side.

It’s extremely hard to convince people of this but ridiculous setups like that are actually incredibly useful. I have a main screen (games, browsing, anything that I’m focusing on), a secondary screen (usually just anything I want to look at while doing something else), a ‘social’ screen (chat applications) and a viewing screen (movies and junk). They all swap and change depending on exactly what I’m doing but that’s roughly how it works out. If I could get something like an iPad (but good) that acts as a portable touch screen that’d be round everything out nicely.
It’s like tabbed browsing. It sounds like it’s over-complicating something for no reason but it actually takes things to whole new level of usability. I’d compare it to going from keyboard and command console to a full GUI and a mouse/keyboard setup. I worked well with computers back when I only had one screen, and originally I was just trying it to see if it’d work, but now I work so much smoother and efficiently that I wouldn’t work on anything else.

Plus it turns my computer from a lone terminal into a command center which makes me feel special. =P

Panel 3 top is EVE (he has his left side console area open)
bottom looks to be WoW based on graphics and coloring…assuming the three games he is playing are WoW, EVE and ME…

Actually the LR monitor is running another EVE account. The layout in the second panel actually goes
UL: WoW (Out of date; Wrath of the Lich King login screen)
LL: ME2 (Shepard on Normandy somewhere)
UC: EVE (Ship control panel visible at bottom of monitor)
LC: ME2 (Shepard in cutscene
LR: EVE (NEOCOM menu visible on left side of screen)

In panel 3 I *think* the top monitor is another EVE account based on general appearance but I can’t see any definite identifiers, and I’ve got no idea what the lower monitor is.

He’s got WoW on two of the screens as well. Upper left and lower right. Franklin’s a recurring character in the Multiplex comics. He is rather good at multitasking with games, but sometimes he forgets other more important things.
