Ack! At least everyone here, pretty much is on a laptop. And it's mandatory that we take them home every night. Business continuity. It's a clunky beast, though, and wireless doesn't work, and the screen locks after 15 minutes of inactivity so it's kind of irritating.
I got so used to having a blackberry even for just toting around the office and knowing when and where my next meeting was going to be. I think some people have email forwarded to their personal devices, but I maintain separation of church and state as much as possible. They want bandwidth, they can pay for it.
DH's boss was shocked to find out he was still on a desktop. DH finally got one for him and his staff a couple of weeks ago.
I have a budget meeting for the non profit I'm volunteering for and I hate those things. Non profits in general are on the ropes lately and I hate begging for money.
Not begging! Giving people the opportunity to support work they think is important, but can't do themselves!!

I wish it was regular fund raising! Donors, I can deal with. Our major funding source is United Way so I have to go through them. They're threatening to cut it all so we're essentially begging them not to.
There will be begging. But they do support us. It's just a struggle to prove to them how much we're needed.
Oh, that's even less begging. That is a business negotiation, making a case.
That's a good point. I need to be in a positive mode for this. Still, it would be awesome if you could make it here for the meeting!
they're on desktops!!
There's nothing wrong with desktops! We're all on desktops!

Heh. I'm not saying United Way won't make you feel like crap, but that's on them. Effing UW.
I need a desktop for work, because I need my four monitors.
I usually bring my MacBook Pro to work with me to fulfill music duties.
We're all on desktops!
You're in the 20th century, is what you are. What happens if there's a disaster and you can't get into the office? What then?
