Thank you Sir. Wonderful workspace, even if changing from 6 to 8 means you are not fully satisfied or at least you see how to use dynamically that extra space. If I ever had such big need, I think that I would move the fixed information pages (well, all that info that is constantly up without any or at least with only small interaction needed) to a webserver showing this info on a 40-50" wall tv monitor in front of ny desk, keeping a more conservative setup of 1 to 3 monitors on the desk.
Oh, you did not answer to my last question ...
