So, like many people, I work in a cube farm, a la Innitech, but not nearly that bad. The "walls" are about 5'5" high and, not being true walls, sound, smell, etc travels.

I actually haven't touched it in a while. Anyways, I'm itching to get on home and play with it. Wheeee! =)

My husband's a grad student, so he "bought" it, using my credit card. The only thing is that if you go this route, the computer & protection plan, etc needs to be in the name of the person buying the computer, but after 90 days the ownership can be trans
