I appriciate all the help from everyone.
I just got off the phone with my supervisor and of course they changed their
mind.
Now they want all the computers to be able to look at different screens so
that they can work on different jobs on the line.
Makes sense, but that's not what they told the first time. But I guest
that's just the way it works in the corporate world.
I guess it's back to setting up a computers on every workstation with
keyboard and mouse so that they can pull up their own stuff to look at.

Again thanks.
