Here's the whole list of standard Windows 7 shortcuts: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Keyboard-shortcuts

WINDOWS KEY + D means exactly "show me the desktop"!

I'm on my phone now so can't test. Either way, for me it was never a habit I could get in to. Old dogs n all that.

Aaron, surely there is no such thing as earning too much money.

Nice addition to your desk! You make too much money, first the Bose speakers now the monitor :)

I'm going to wait a little to see what happens. Some analysts suggest that the iPad3 effect will now make its way to monitors, since I'm not in a hurry I'll see whether this becomes true.

On your remark of minimizing windows to see the desktop, I was wondering if you knew the Win7 shortcut for that? It's the utmost right little square on your taskbar. Another way is to "shake" you main window.

I like the physical seperation you get with seperate monitors - designer in one, the client in the other and other stuff in the third.

The other thing I found were "office vari-focals". Instead of 3 zones ( very close, close and distance ) they just have very close and close.

Before that I always had a crick in my neck trying to look at the monitors through the lower part of the lenses.

I set mine up about 60 cm from my face and angle them towards each other about 10 degrees. That way the far edges are roughly in the same focal plane as the middle of each screen and the inner edges aren't too far away. With a 30, as Ursus states, you start to have distance problems and if you're too close you'll experience a bit of barrel effect - bad when working with lots of code. That and constantly adjusting your eye focus as your gaze traverses the flat screen creates a bit of fatigue.
