@ Dale: Thank you for your thoughts and input. Yeah Windows7 was released last night. I’ve just about had it for good with Windows though. That Mac is getting closer to me every single day. Should have bought it last time round.

I have a very nice workspace setup. The big spare bedroom has been arranged to include all the things I need to work.
Windows 7 is on it’s way. I look forward to the new operating system.

I have a small area by the back garden door, two desks, one for the computer gubbins and a teak desk I purchased from John Lewis’s in 1977 so it is thirty years old, or rather thirty one. Not a great deal of storage space so I am hoping when we move,there will be some improvement. I am on BT Internet.broadband Filing cabinet to my left, wire trays on my desk. Currently pursuing scriptwriting and reading courses with the hope of going freelance.

@Monika,

I think the mobility can be good in spurts – for a change of scenery. And of course, we can always do things in the “analog” world when we’re out and about. One of my main bugbears is the interface. Though the keyboard on my laptop is pretty good, it is still not as good as a real keyboard, so I’ll be getting an external keyboard soon. I already have the external mouse, which helps.

So I suppose I do a mix of both – but mostly, it’s the desk for productive work. For productive thinking, though, it is likely to be somewhere else – under my tree, or some place else outside.

@ Cheewee: Nice to see you buddy. I’m sorry to hear you don’t feel well. Stomach bugs suck because they really take it all out of you. I hope you start to feel better soon enough.

Thanks for taking the time to say hell even though you don’t feel well. Here is a big virtual hug for you. Hope it helps a little.

@ Jenny: Wow, you go girl. 4 Hours. That is svelte. You must have had quite a bit of amassed stuff to spend that long in the one room.

I bet now you feel so much better for it too.

@ Friar: LOL. Your widget factory sounds really like heaps of fun. Not! Poor widgets. I suppose you have the best office of all – the great outdoors. What better way to spend the time.
