I couldn't resist after the big "Multiple monitors are useless" post.
Buy a Mac II family machine, three video cards, and three monitors.
Plug all three cards in hooked up to the monitors.  DO NOTHING
SPECIAL. DO NOT rewrite .bat, .startup, .rediculous files.  DO NOT use
a special program to jump from one monitor to the other.  DO NOT use
some special instruction or hack to make the computer think it's using
only one monitor.

Do use the control panel to lay the monitors out on your desk however
you want to and DO use any program you want to that is well written.
