I've had that exact experience. I think when you work in an office, there's a feeling of "well, I'm 'at work', so everything I do here is work, even when I'm on a break, or chatting to coworkers".
When you're at home, you only feel like you're 'at work' when you're actually at your computer (or whatever it is you work at). Breaks and so on don't count, even though you might do those exact same things in the office, and then go home at the end of the day and say "I worked eight hours today".
I've worked from home offices both in a small apartment by myself (some years ago), and (right now) in a large house with a family. To be honest, I've never had the 'cabin fever' syndrome - my issues are more to do with dealing with distractions. Having said that, the extra flexibility is great, I save myself around 90 minutes a day driving time, and I get to see my kids more.
For being housebound, I suppose some solutions might be:
Get into 'virtual contact' with people - online chat and so on
Ensure that your social life takes you out of the house
Choose contracts that give you a bit of 'out of the house' interaction with customers and such
I don't know if these sound a bit lame, but maybe they can help.:-)
Got my Tungsten T last Monday and I'm very pleased. OS4 apps actually run faster on the new device, even with the emulation. This can be a problem with games that do not have proper timing loops, but everything else works great.
There are compatibility issues. Software that has been written in complete compliance with OS 4.x will work, but it's actually quite easy to violate this without realising it. In any case there are a lot of non-compliant programs out there.
Palm have a useful little compatability checking program that can be downloaded for free from www.palm.com/support/downloads/appcheck.html. This checks a PRC application for non-compliant code - don't know how reliable or fastidious it is. There is also a (fairly exhaustive) list of compatible and non-compatible programs at www.palm.com/support/tungstent/compatibility.html.

Landmines are usually placed fairly close to the surface - if the plants are seeded fairly thickly they should get everything in a given area.
Grads originate with the military, I think.
