Hi, some answers here:
1. iMac mid-2011 2011 has 2 Thunderbolts, hence 2 displays.
2. It’s kinda stupid that Griffin Powermate is popular only for music and video. It’s awesome for every app because you can map every keyboard shortcut to a a unique gesture. E.g. short pressing in Finder would create new folder, right turn in Finder would send a file through e-mail, left turn in Mail would reply to all etc.
3. Desktops are for documents and lengthy projects. E.g. on desktop 4 you have 6 documents to work on for a week or so, that you have to see at one time. On desktop 5 you have 4 documents on another project that again can remain here for, say, a month. That’s the idea.

No it has not. I know it because I have it. Last iMac without Thunderbolt. So probably the answer was EVGA 100-U2-UV19-TR. Correct me if I’m wrong.

How did he connect 2 external monitors to 2011 iMac? It has only one mini display port.

I don’t think I’d be more productive with 25 desktops.

Not a lot of medical research going on there. Researching the next holiday maybe?

That is the Griffin PowerMate, it’s very popular with videographers and musicians.

Nevermind. I deduced which item it is listed in the post and Googled it. Pretty nifty.

What is that little gadget in the middle emitting blue light out from under it? Not the Alarm Clock with the blue screen, the little round thing.
