Yes. Soon to be using three. I know people who use 4 and then people who use 6.

Here is what I wish cloud computing was, you get in to work and you can basically set you're phone to display on a comp screen, obviously if privacy not a concern, I go nuts looking at all these screens!

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

At work I use 2 when I'm working off my desktop, sometimes Ill work off my laptop and plug the 2 screens into there.

At home I try only using 1 screen, regardless of if desktop or laptop. But when it's needed it's always available.

Check out Synergy
Tried it once but couldn't get the config right, I guess I can try again.
Microsoft has a similar program called Mouse Without Borders which was simpler to set up, but it was always buggy so I dropped it.
