[DUG] Contractor wanted

Of course in the real world you get contract work, and the site supplies a
nice big monitor (its either 21 or 23 inch) CRT which is just a tiny bit
fuzzy, so that at high resolution you can't tell the diffrerence between (
and { in SQL statements, and 3 programmers who know SQL can't spot the wrong
bracket either.
 
On the plus side I do have 2 keyboards, 2 mice, 2 monitors.  The other one I
can read.
 
The best set up I have seen so far had 5 huge monitors spread over 3 or 4
networked pcs, with ONE keyboard and mouse, with software sharing the
desktop space so that as the mouse went off one screen it appeared on the
next screen (on a different computer) and switched the keyboard to that PC
as well.  Seriously cool.

Thanks for the help. 
 
Of course, Silly me.  I dont' need anyone. I just buy 3 30" Dell lcd
monitors for each of us here, plus extra mice (use the left foot also) and
second keyboard (multi-dextrous), adopt self pair-programming, (left brain
and eye watches the right brain and eye - one step ahead of the chameleon).
Using the David Brennan productivity ought to be directly proportional to
equipment formula: thats  3 x 2 x 2 x 2= 24 times increase in mythical
person-month productivity, so we ought to be done by lunchtime. Sorted.
