I have a early 1950's wall phone I keep threatening to shove the guts of a cellphone into. I'd much rather have that Star Trek communicator on my person. And a tricorder. Definitely a tricorder. I could go onsite, aim it at some secretary's terminal and say, "The scan detects you did something stupid." If she says anything about it…out comes the phaser.

Running a company totally kills anything approaching productivity. That's the only reason I have to go in. (That and we have a warehouse and deal with physical, non-code-related stuff) If I stay here, my phone would ring constantly and Google Hangouts would catch flame.

I'm generally against myself, personally, telecommuting for various logistical reasons.

When your ideas and ambitions keep forgetting you aren't 20 years old anymore.

And they will never make one of that quality again. :(

I've been favoring the Logitech Solar wireless keyboards.for my Mac and Windows boxes.

My wife once spilled Coke on a vintage IBM Model M. It ate away the circuit board etchings. That was a close to Hulk Smash as I have ever got in this relationship. Made me even more upset than her trashing of the vintage IBM-XT keyboard.
