No power at home.
At the office, I come in to find that my desktop has **** the bed finally. Had been giving me troubles for a few months. It's old and in need of replacement. So is my laptop. I had sort of decided that I would limp along with what I had, trying to wait for the Surface Pro to come out, hoping to buy one of those to replace both the desktop and the laptop. But the desktop had started to die faster and faster, and today it was DOA. Wouldn't even turn on.
So now I'm on one of these goofy terminal jobs, hoping to make it through the next few months (most everyone in here is on a terminal) but I am finding it woefully inadequate for my speed and browsing and display needs. Any graphics rendering is painfully slow, color resolution is a mess, and there's tons of lag typing in a reply here on SF.
