8) Get Mr. Magoo glasses, set your resolution higher (try 1280 by 1040), then minimize your Reef Central window so only one line at a time shows. When people ask, just tell them old age is setting in and you need quad-focals!

7) Place a small convex mirror on your monitor to view if anyone is behind you. Also, a small motion sensor to alert you when anyone is within a few feet of your cube.
