    1. I have a personal PC in the office, plus a monitor for my office laptop, if I didn't have the personal machine there, they would put in a second monitor. That rule has never made sense, and I have never had two monitors on one computer, I have to computers side by side, two keyboard, two mouses (Stanley Fish says the plural of computer mouse is mouses.)
