All our computers are open. Best way to do it. Our PC is in the living room, and generally, I work on my laptop in the TV room. Although - I'll sometimes take it into another room if I need to concentrate (my tech work is a little concentration-intensive, occasionally. not much room for mistakes....).
There was a previous poster (#254, right above) that more-or-less proved my point, vis-a-vis moral fanaticism. As someone who's not 100% in favor of the methods used in this show, I have a "secret agenda"...or a "not-so-secret agenda". Whatever that is.
On a totally unrelated note, what do you think of Call of Duty? Usually, I wind up getting a game, playing with it for a day or two, then not looking at it ever again - so I don't invest in them very often. Call of Duty, though, piqued my interest.
COD is a great game that is easy to play online. I don’t play Single Player anymore. I only play the PC version. I have not heard good things about the console version. COD requires a fairly decent video card. Nothing major. I was able to play COD 1 on a Radeon 7000. My kids have a low-end card and it plays COD2 well. I can usually be found on the MoG servers.
Pick up the demos from Fileplanet and give it a shot.
