Home away from home
I don’t drive a flashy car, own a fancy house, or even watch a big screen TV — but boy, do I have nice computers. When I worked in a cubicle, it chafed me that the equipment I was supposed to use was quite a bit clunkier than what I was used to at home.
One of the many wonderful things about high-speed Internet is that I can get to my home setup from darn near anywhere. It’s easier with Linux or Mac, of course, but since PC laptops are a commodity, the ability to do it with Microsoft Windows is also a good tool to have in the kit.
