I use a triple display as well.

As you get older, your monitors get larger.
However, this is not necessarily a good thing.
I may only have 1 monitor... But I have 12 "Spaces" (google "apple
spaces" for more info) I used to have 2 monitors... I miss my other
19"... Darn new boss! I need another new one... Who wants to hire
me? :)
Considering how much employers pay employees, it would make good
sense to give employees the tools that would make them more
productive. I claim that a programmers productivity would go up
another 10% (or more), if they were allowed to have whatever size
monitors they wanted.
When you compare the cost of additional equipment against the cost
for the employee, it becomes obvious where one should spend money in
a company to increase productivity.
Unfortunately, I worked with many a company (as a consultant) who's
decision as to work environments depend upon some "bean-counter"
who's vision/need for larger monitor(s) doesn't extend beyond his own
spreadsheet.
Oh well, those things are not obvious to everyone. :-)
