Multiple monitors = more efficient programmers

My first "real" programming job was building kiosks using Macromedia Director. It was also my first experience with having more than one monitor. It spoiled me forever. Now Darrell Norton has some metrics on multiple monitors and productivity. He made sure that all developers on a large project had multiple monitors and found that:

"After multiple monitors were introduced:

* Productivity in lines of code per day increased 10%.
* Defect levels decreased by 26%."

Now where did I stash that extra monitor ...?
