Technically it's 4 screens. My 5th screen is a projector for watching movies.

Once I can get a bigger table I'm gonna add 2 more screens. As it is now just to accommodate these 3 screens on the table, the table is nearly 6 feet wide!

The 4th screen is above the left hand side screen. The 5th screen is a projector.

The 4th screen isn't switched on at the moment as I only use it when I'm gaming to monitor my graphics cards.

You know I can't imagine using anything less than 3 screens now. I've become so used to it.

Even at work I have 3 screens. It's just so much more productive.

I do agree with you, technically, there isn't much wrong with Win8. It's stable and kinda does what it's supposed to do. It's just the UI that has changed a lot (and I for one really don't like the new way...)
I have to laugh (old) people, I'm 52 so not that young.

But I suppose spending all day everyday on a PC does mean I get to use them more than most plus my livelihood depends on me having a PC with a decent internet connection.

When I first got my new laptop in January this year I thought what on earth is this Win 8, it is a lot different than Win 7 but after a bit of searching around the Net and finding out you can set it up similar to Win 7 it has made my life a whole lot easier.

The Apps side for me is weird but I discovered that you can have normal shortcuts on your desktop.

I must admit XP was a good OS to use but it wasn't without it's flaws and now is not something that I can even consider using because MS has stopped updating it.

Very nice, unfortunately I don't have the room for that.

Each to their own.

But I use these many screens for gaming. I'm a hardcore gamer and the surround gaming that 3 screens provide is amazing. 5 screens will be even better when I eventually get round to installing them.

Can't recall where the info about our Gov paying to prolong XP support came from. But it would have been a very reliable source, coz I don't trust many sources innit..

Enuff is enuff! I am staying with XP pro, coz the minute I change, they will bring out Win 9 and demand more money innit...
