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?
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

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

I rejoice?

I need a desktop for work, because I need my four monitors.
Okay, jealous now.
I use two monitors--the laptop screen, and one hooked up to the docking station. I am the only person I know who does this. I don't get other people. Why not use the extra real estate?
In fact, I got the 21 incher because the developer concerned would rather work at 1024x768. Most people just use their laptop screens. You can't see anything!

Yeah, we don't get to not work. They're hard core like that.

I figure if there's a disaster I have more important things to worry about.
ETA: I also use two external monitors (one of which is as big as my TV) so working at home on the laptop screen is annoying to say the least.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I do too, when I'm in my office. I need all the screen estate I can get.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If you think there’s never enough computerized numerical control in your life perhaps the pizza plotter should be your next project. This is a large 2-axis machine that shoots pressurized sauce onto a pizza crust. It’s a food-grade RepStrap and appears to use a garden sprayer as a reservoir. They learned their lesson when a loose hose clamp sprayed sauce around the room. We’re thinking this is a bit of reinventing the wheel as pizza-making factories but it’s fun nonetheless.

I just convinced work to buy us a $400 netbook to replace the extremely old Dell laptop we have, that the 6 of us share for any time we need a computer remotely (office visits, office hours in departments, classrooms without computers, etc.)
Yes, I work for a public university, in the library. Laptops? Hah.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Only attorneys and managers here get laptops--the rest of us have desktops. I have a blackberry, but technically I'm not supposed to.
