Neat solution!
My argumentation to use ws's is that this central monitoring station
will be identical to the monitoring people's own monitoring
stations (except for the monitor, which will be a videowall) and
that they will have the ability to manipulate the central screen
in the same way as their own when a major event happens so that they
can all share and work from the same centrally presented info.

Jan.
