People are talking about the IBM PS/2 Model M keyboards. The really heavy clicky ones.
Well, I just went out into my garage and looked at my pile of them. I have 8, none of which I've used. I bought them in a lot of other stuff from a state surplus sale. Most were manufactured in 1993, but I think I have one or 2 1994s.
I'm not using them, and I likely won't (I use a Kinesis keyboard), so, I'll offer them for sale (cheap). Get them out of my garage.
I realize Slashdot isn't the proper place to handle this, but oh well. If you are interested, contact me at oldibmkeyboards@drapple.com
I work full time for a successful Web Design company that essentially hires only telecommuters. The company is "officially" located in DC, but the employees are spread across the entire US. I was hired as a telecommuter 8 months ago (I'm a Perl programmer), and it works great. We make heavy use of a private IRC server, so most of the employees are in communication daily. Our only main issue is the 3 hour time difference between the DC office, and us 'west coast' people.
We have quarterly meetings where everyone flies to DC, but aside from that, we all work from our homes.
I will agree with what others have said about needing to set aside space in your house as your 'office.' I have taken one room and it has been made my office. That has made a huge difference because I know the difference between work and home.
I am excited to start seeing other Operating Systems get a little bit of positive press. I for one am a big FreeBSD fan. It is nice to see that someone in the mass media can (for the most part) get their facts straight.

Finding and squishing a sofware bug can be mildly satisfying.
Finding and squishing a real bug just gets your shoes all gooey.
