He has to get the "paperless" lifestyle into his head though. That desk is hideous.

Looks like Al needs The Cure.

Guaranteed he can find anything he needs in a snap. Overthrow the tyranny of the neat!

3 monitors and a tv? really? I didn't know Al was producing music or editing film.

How many trees did Al kill with the papers on his desk?

mscot, stop questioning your betters. We all need to make serious lifestyle sacrifices and cut back on our consumption of energy and goods for the sake of the planet.

Al is exempt, of course, because he is a Very Important Man and thus needs three widescreen computer monitors (plus an office TV).

If his place caught on fire, it would smolder for months...

Look closely at his desk: it's not a huge pile of paper. There's some papers, but it appears to be mostly books, magazines, CD/DVDs, and random none-paper objects.

Also, there's a lot of other computer activities besides music and film that are made much easier by having multiple monitors...

Odd. I commented earlier on this mentioning something along the line that perhaps ol' Al should figure out how to get by with fewer than 600 watts of displays in his office. That comment seems to have been deleted. Are we not allowed to voice "dissenting" opinions here?
