View from my home office, or, why I'm so excited I bought myself a (used, crappy, cheap) laptop today.
I have big plans to be doing a great deal more personal computing (you know, computing done away from that place that pays me to come in and use their computer all day long). Even though I am totally excited to have my very own office at home (also known as The Sewing Room and the place I will stash guests if I ever have any), it will be nice to go wherever and do work. Backyard, coffeeshop, or maybe even the kitchen table! The possibilities are endless.
Plus, gadgets are fun! I've wanted a laptop forever, and finally the going price on eBay has dropped far enough for me to not have a heart attack when coughing up the dough. Geekery level rising!
