What's with everybody (except TG) having both a laptop AND a desktop?  (....mumble, mumble, rich bastards, mumble, mumble).

Here it is...my little slave corner in the world.  This is where I work 10 hours a day, play maybe 2 hours a day, and grow old.

2 Bulging disks. Not too bad. Physical therapy helping. Back scratcher, maily, I don't use the massager part...lol.  Thanx for asking!     If you look closely, you'll also see diabetes meds, RLS meds, High Blood Pressure meds, the list goes on...lol. I am falling apart since I quit smoking and drinking...lol.  No shit, really!

A desktop, and 2 laptops. And a 26" HDTV as my PC Monitor....life is sweet!   Oh, did I mention 4 GB RAM on the PC, and 2.5 GB on the Laptop? And a cable connection that gives me 16MB/sec. download speed?    

Yours looks nice, nothing wrong with it.

I know the feeling...fractured L4...too dangerous to operate until I get to the point where I can't deal with the pain any longer. It's funny how much pain you can put up with when the choice is limited mobility. On the bright side, at least you get the good parking.

Here's mine...

Must remember, the Zen master tells me to shun personal attachment...ownership is a burden.  <--------BS I tell myself when I'm totally green with jealosy.  Why, oh why, where the stable men never interested in me?

Oh, please!  Quit patronizing me!!  It's just one step up from Robby_Boy's kid's setup!  If I didn't have the 6-gallon aquarium just out of camera's view on the left, I'd be suicidal or borderline postal--the Beta fish sends me bubble messages that say "Remain calm.  All is well."

I could use a laptop so that when hurricane season happens again, I can take the laptop, make a trip up to either my DH's relatives in Oklahoma or my relatives in Wisconsin, and keep working instead of having to deal with that dip in my income because I can't work when the electricity is out. 


Could be worse, I guess...at least I have my health.

We work for it. I used to think the same thing several years ago when I saw people who had multiple computers and I only had one slow POS. Now I have the desktop, laptop, and my old PC that I'm putting back together for my aunt.

  Wow...why didn't I think of that?  Just work for something....OH YEAH, now I remember...BECAUSE I SPEND 10 HOURS A DAY WORKING, 6 DAYS A WEEK, INCLUDING CHRISTMAS AND THANKSGIVING -- enough so that I've been hospitalized twice for DVTs (blood clots) to my legs. And I've seen my income drop $1000 a month in the last 8 months, due to changes in the way the job is done, more automation, more outsourcing overseas, needing to stay competitive.

I've tried that "working for" things...still am because I really don't have it in my to steal things, but it's not working out for me the same way it's apparently working out for you.

Please ignore the remodeling mess.  It's only been going on for years, since I got sicker........sucks.  My area is on the left, my wife's area on the right.  The Swifer is a required bit of technology for the Florida dust.

I'm far from being rich....

it's taken years to get what i have now!!! i started with a $300.00 secondhand comp....

just cos i now have $3,000-$4,000 set up dose not mean i don't have to watch what i spend.....

i've built it up over time (alot of time.... )

Any way the idear i had when i started this thread was to get to know a bit about each other (cos if you are like me you spend alot of time sat infront of you comp, the pic will tell abit about you)

Yeah, John, I am.  Occasionally I'll come over here for a quick post when I've run out of work, waiting for the doctors to dictate some more.  Since I get paid on production, if there is no work, I don't get paid, so I wait around to be the first one to get the work queued to them, which means hitting the "get more jobs button" over and over again, so I flip between my work window and the WC window.  My DH makes sure it's no more than 2 hours of play because he needs/wants his time with me, too, and there are only so many hours in a day.
