Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love touchpads. But they suck for graphics, which I need to do.

Coding and Sleeping

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.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

    • MacBook Pro
    • Mac Mini, attached to the TV
    • Netbook running XP, mostly used to VPN to work
    • A tiny little wall-wart Linux server
    • iPhone
    • Airport Router
    • Epson printer/scanner

Oh, and my old PowerMac G5, sitting unused in the closet.

A netbook would probably be perfect for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.
