Money is not a problem, but space is. There is never any room on a trading floor. Space is at an amazing premium.
Would switchable monitors, mice, and keyboards be a possible solution (with placement of the CPUs in another location), or are your users too permanently technically incompetent? I would hope the latter would not be the case given the technological nature of the modern trading field. -Allen

The users can't afford not to have the numbers they are watching not in front of them, even for brief periods. Its a real problem. And yes, this isn't a joke. They all eat lunch on the trading floor so they don't have to leave their desks. They race back and forth to the bathroom. The environment is tough. .pm
