Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen did awesome at the dentist today! I stayed in the waiting room and our favorite hygeinist managed him very well. We're making progress!

Afterward, I took him back to school and ate lunch in the cafeteria with him. School lunches haven't improved much. But it's cute to see wee kids get their lunch, pick their entree, eat and bus their own tables. I even got to enjoy recess with the kids. And by enjoy, I mean boggle at the fact that this was exactly like watching 100 spider monkeys on a crack binge. *shudder* WE DO NOT PAY TEACHERS ENOUGH. EVER.

I have a laptop and a desktop, two external hard drives, and three flash drives. And a work machine. Soon I will have another desktop. I haven't purchased a netbook yet, but I'm sure I'll cave soon.

You've got me way beat on computers per person ratio. Two of ours hardly count as they are old computers re-purposed to DVR duty.

Shit. My husband's boss had a heart attack at work. Taken to the ER and transferred to a larger, cardiac unit somewhere. He's not that old, either. I really hope he's going to be ok.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

1 active duty laptop for daily use, 1 netbook, 1 TB external shared drive, 4-5 flash drives, 1 rarely-booted desktop, 1 rarely-booted Powerbook, plus my work machines and my iPhone. Oh, right. And the laptop in the closet.

That's just my computers. Paul has a few, too.

Fingers crossed for him, Cash.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hmm... my netbook, my work laptop, media server, hub's netbook, hub's desktop, crappy old laptop in the kitchen, 2 iphones, ...

That's just my computers.

Oh thank GOD. I should've known Plei would save my pathetic nerdly ass.

I'm sure I'm leaving one or two out. We actually need to do a serious hardware clean up and then get a good household desktop.

Paul mostly uses his work laptop, sometimes his Powerbook. Not sure when last he used his desktop.

I would like to get a laptop--New! Shiny! Yay!--but I love the widescreen monitor I have, and I hate the keyboards on laptops. And touchpads are evil. It seems stupid to get a laptop then attach peripherals like a mouse and my ergonomic keyboard
