Cool! 
I don't often talk about the lack of voting, but that deserves a big 5!

That's sort of me as well. My big laptop sits under the drawers of my desk; wifey's netbook sits in a draw and my desk is clear of everything except my iMac. It took a while to finally get Win7 installed with BootCamp but all things taken into account, it runs fast enough and I'm but a dual-boot away if I need to Macify for any reason. Don't get me wrong, I love the concept of the iMac but it does nothing for me at this time that I can't do under Win7 and I get the added bonus of using VS and RS.

I finally retired the family desktop this fall. It started out in life as a Pentium II, 266 MHz, with 256MB RAM and a 20G hard drive almost 15 years ago. When I first got it my internet access was via dialup at 56K, which seemed blindingly fast compared to the baud rates I was used to.
When the motherboard failed it was a Pentium III, 600 MHz with 640MG RAM and a little over 500G spread over three drives. The only part of the thing that was still original was the case. I'd replaced the motherboard/CPU once, RAM a couple times, hard drives several times, and so on. It was being used as a print server and for shared disk space.
I salvaged the hard drives and the case. I just don't have the heart to chuck the thing.

So here I am, laying on the sofa, slowly sinking with the cold that Michelle has seen fit to pass on.
As I lay here, I decide that there channel on the TV needs changing, and, much to my chagrin, the remote control is just out of reach.
I reach out, willing it into my hand, like Luke Skywalker trying to reach his lightsabre whilst hoisted up in the Wampa cave.
Initially there is no joy, then Michelle takes pity on me and passes it to me.
All done merely using my mind!

I was playing my WPF Anagrams game, and actually WON A GAME! Admittedly on 13 words in the scramble word, but after 155 games, I'll take any win I happen to trip over. 
I also tripped over a bug - wins aren't tallied in the cumulative tab.

I like the game and I play it frequently, haven't noticed the bug though.

That's probably because you haven't won any games.

I obviously know more about the earth than you. The Forth is a river.

I thought it was a language.
Is it a streaming language? Is it in current use?

I've heard it's good for bridging systems. It has superb flow.

Is it a steaming language? Yes.

Came back offshore Thursday lunchtime, after a couple of hours delay due to aircraft issues.
On the way out I woke up at one point and just felt really sh!t.
Arrived onboard, had lunch and then lasted all of about 2 hours before giving up and sending myself to bed. Got up on the Friday morning to do the morning call with town, then went back to bed.
Got up this morning, felt a lot better, even managed breakfast and lunch! by about 4 I was starting to feel weary. Heading off to my evening management team meeting just shortly. Force a bite to eat, then any guess where I'm going? yep. Bed.
Offshore for new year sucks, Offshore for new year and feeling sh!te == really sucks....... 
On the plus side, skiing holiday in March paid for today so at least something to look forward to in the new year! Bring it on! 
edit: On another note, I think the microsoft hamsters must be on holiday, downloading SQL Server Express (1GB DL) is taking an eternity.....
