TECH THOUGHTS: Multi-tasking all the way!

>I love to multi- task.  If I could have two huge mac screens on my desk which I would then sub-divide into all the various tasks and entertainment treats with which I reward myself for accomplishing said tasks with, I would be most happy, and might I add, productive.
