Computer Fun
I should be getting a new Dell M70 laptop from work this week. It's big, heavy, and packs as much power as a full-sized desktop tower. That'll be my primary work and home computer, and what I'd likely use to play World of Warcraft on.
I'll also be "borrowing with permission" a full-sized development tower, slapping a couple of video capture cards in it, and using it to learn how to use Windows Media Center. It's a legitamite use of equipment, since I honestly need to keep up with new hardware, new software, and answer users questions about how something works. They're paying to educate me and help me stay abreast of technological changes. That I get to use it to record my shows, act as a music jukebox through the TV surround sound, and free up a DVD player for elsewhere is just a bunch of added bonuses.
