      Windows are too big. The whole point is to have small windows and multiple screens so you don’t have to move your eyes around in their sockets in the window you’re working which causes eyestrain.

      They might have well just have fewer screens and click through windows.

      Cancer? From monitors? Is that a thing people believe? Do they think “the 5G comes from all them screens” ?

        Literal doctors trying to convince me that monitors emit cancer causing radiation.

        I had to explain to a doctor what ionizing radiation was… And that’s how I learned that doctors are just like every other profession. And there are just as many morons that graduated med school as morons that graduated high school (proportionately).

    I had a similar matrix of screens at my old job: Seismic survey observer desk. Three rows tall, four columns wide.

    They weren’t all connected to the same PC, though; If I remember correctly:

    • Top row was one PC (linux)
    • Middle row was another (linux)
    • Bottom left was its own PC (It ran msdos 6.22. Excellent OS for realtime stuff!)
    • Bottom right was its own (linux)
    • middle two at the bottom was windows.

    They were all connected to a Raritan KVM switch, so I used that to select which row to control. The exception was on bottom left and bottom right which had a dedicated keyboard and mouse.

    I have a picture of it somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it.
