My Office

When my father passed away, I took all the computers he was actively using home to look them over for data. (On a side note, being an executor is a b*tch.) Two weeks later, I'm *almost* done looking over his systems. This man couldn't delete any file! Take a look at my poor little computer room. (This is just his *working* systems. There are 5-10 more in his storage space in Nashville.)

You need to experience the joys of a flat panel monitor. I have three of them hooked up to the same computer and its excellent. Also frees up large amounts of deskspace.

Yeah, I've got 4 CRTs in the room right now, and at least 2 more on the way!

Seriously, my plan is to buy a flat panel with the proceeds from selling all of the equipment I don't need.
