Been doing this computing thing since the old days when I was using a VT100 terminal and a dial-up modem.

I use a desktop for personal use at my primary residence. It’s a gaming computer, a beast. On the same KVM switch I have two other computers. My work Windows laptop and my work Apple MacBook. The two monitors, keyboard and mouse are shared between all three systems.

In NH I have one extra monitor, keyboard and mouse and my old slow laptop. I’ll bring my work laptop up there when I go and can work from there while also working on renovations.

I need to get a better monitor up there (maybe two) and a better laptop. I make use of all my monitors.

I don’t like cellphones. Too small.

I use an iPad because I want to really zoom in on photos and examine them. I love it. It’s on a stand, so my arm doesn’t get tired and I just bring it to wherever I want to sit. It really came in handy when examining Q drops with photos.

It DOES slow me down typing since I don’t attach a separate keyboard, but that’s probably a good thing! Believe it or not, I think twice before typing.

Oh I have those as well, two Win7 machines, an old Acer with XP! One Vista box, A Quad core Power Mac, One slim Dell box running Linux, and a mini box still packed somewhere.

7 desktops, its good to have spares!

Also have KVM if I want to use that as I dont have a monitor for every box (yet)
