Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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

until you want to take it somewhere, and then it's GENIUS. You can also get a docking station to make it easier.
I love touchpads. But they suck for graphics, which I need to do.
I vacillate between getting a cheap laptop/netbook or not to supplement a relatively powerful desktop with a big monitor. Not this year anyway, maybe next year.
Oh, and my old PowerMac G5, sitting unused in the closet.
A netbook would probably be perfect for me.
Ubuntu server, Powerbook, Vista box, a dissassembled something, most hard drives I've ever owned in anti-static bags whether they're broken or not, a network printer/scanner, a USB scanner, a large pen tablet, uncounted flash drives, three iPods and two smartphones but I can't find one of them, annoyingly. And a work laptop. In other junkie unnecessary acquisition I also have an Apple TV--peril of a friend at Apple, really. I didn't mean to get it.
I just have my macbook pro. Once I get off my ass and put in the reqs for my work laptop, I'll have TWO macbook pros. And I'll probably keep my solaris box for a bit until I can completely migrate off it.
In other news, I've decided my trashmen are complete morons. They didn't pick up my recycling AGAIN. This happens about once a month. I'm not gonna even bother calling since there's plenty of room in there for next week. But good god, I think they can't read. It's spray painted RECYCLING all over it. It was out at the curb.
Either that, or they are just assholes.
