multiple choice

It's not unusual today to walk into a busy executive's office and see two computer monitors. But three? It wasn't possible until Matrox recently introduced TripleHead2Go. Now you can put three 19-inch monitors side by side with a combined resolution of 3,840-by-1,024-or 45 inches of diagonal display! Similar to surround sound, this is surround display. Its most striking application will surely be gaming, like flight simulators or racecar games. Each screen also could hold live stock quotes, news sites or e-mail. TripleHead2Go is an exterior box easily added to any capable system. $299. www.matrox.com.

for women only

This isn't sexist. The Pink Car Kit, Pink Toolbox and other useful products in pink are produced by women, for women, with part of the proceeds going to breast cancer research. A British company came up with the idea. The toolbox contains everything needed for routine home maintenance, and the car kit has pink jumper cables and a charger for your cell phone. Besides, if you break down on the highway and get out with your pink kit, cars will screech to a halt to assist you. Very nice, and the charitable help will surely be appreciated. $61. www.pinktoolbox.co.uk.

measure up

A man who knows that duct tape can fix anything will surely appreciate the Stanley multifunction wrist watch. Stanley? Yes, the same company that makes the tools carpenters and builders use. Press a button on your watch and pull out a Stanley steel tape measure-sure to impress your lady friend. This also displays time and date and can function as a stopwatch. On second thought, ladies, I'd steer clear of any man who whips out a tape measure and timer. $61. watch.brando.com.hk.

digital shower

The wireless digital shower has arrived. A company called Grohe provides hardware that allows a shower to be turned on and off from any room in the house, to be turned on automatically at a preset time, to create an exact water temperature and to alarm you awake in the morning. Each family member can program his or her preferences. The alarm sounds when your selected temperature is reached. And it can react in milliseconds to adjust that temperature if the toilet is flushed. The Grohtherm Wireless Shower system is $1,305. www.grohe.co.uk.
