I have 8 windows on my screen right now.  When I was at Xerox, & each window
tended to be a distinct task, the number was greater, typically around 14.
(Many of these were quite trivial -- a performance monitor which graphed CPU
utilization & disk accesses, e.g.).

They are:
	a terminal emulator dedicated to mail (in which I'm handling this)
	a terminal emulator dedicated to my system console (iconic)
	a terminal emulator dedicated to an editor which has my calendar
		loaded, and my phonelist as an alternate file (iconic)
	a clock
	a bitmap editor, for sketching pictures
	a general graphics environment, currently keeping a strip-chart
		performance monitor
	a terminal emulator used as a general executive window
	a terminal emulator generally used for editing / viewing source
		for code or documents
