I really enjoy a laptop due to the ease of moving around and the ease of transporting it...

I can't stand notebooks, small screen and the keyboard annoys me. I've been called out a few times by clients that wanted me to work on site. I told them I was fine with working on site, like their office wage slaves, but they would have to provide me a decent system(monitor) and purchase Visual Studio as well as pay me mileage and travel time. I'm not some monkey that needs to be supervised, I want to finish a contract and move on...that's why I like to negotiate a completion bonus.

I have both....my desktop is in a box in the closet though. With 4 gigs of ram, a 2.6 Dual core, and dedicated graphics card in a 3 lbs machine.....I'll take the lappy every day.

word. That's why I do all my stuff here at home.

In my office here - I got a quad, 4 gigs, software, 2 24" monitors, a 50" hdtv monitoring tv, blu-ray dvd, laser printer, optical mouse, comfy keyboard, stylus, fast internet, etc. etc.

All setup, rearing to go. On-site, most I can do is demo stuff, transfer files, or powerpoint presentations. I never do work there.

I remember VS 2005 team edition. .NET 2.0 was cool. I culdn't stand various environments errors and dumb code monkeys taking 4 days to setup a machien with all the latest vss code just to compile!

My rate goes up when I have to work with a team. That makes me the lead developer and project manager...the ambassador that has to coddle all the stakeholders. I've recently started updating my Java skills, JDK 1.4 was the last package I used for production code. My bread is buttered by MS but I've been getting more inquiries for Java development.
