    At my work, I'm the IT guy..

    I convinced my boss, allowing the staff web access was a good idea.

    we bought a 3com router, that has an url allow list, and we can list 30 domains that are reachable, the rest of the internet is not.

    I don't have to unlock my desk to use it, I use mstsc.exe (aka remote desktop) to pull up my computer at home (running xp pro) and do everything off of it.

    I can print locally.

    I can save locally.

    I can print at home.
    I can save to my pc at home

    I walk in the door at either place, and pull up the exact desktop I was working out when I walked out the door on the other end.

    I can do this with my smartpanel from across the parking lot, or my pocket PC at a starbucks- or even on my cell phone....

    think about it, for a $300.00 NEC mobile pro from ebay, a 30$ wifi card, I have a 800X600 windows ce machine that runs for 4-8 hours, and the machine powering the display IS my home PC....

    why do I need a laptop? I'm running my home machine- anywhere a broadband connection is available to me...

    I can even do it from a Dell Axim@ 640X480.

    (if I owned one.)
