3. Are work stations sexier than laptops?

That's a difficult one. I love having a workstation that I can populate with my toys and decorate with my gothy pictures and Christmas lights, but sitting in a mom & pop coffeeshop (NOT a Starbucks, Tully's, etc.) or cafe writing on a laptop has a certain appeal to it as well. (Though, to bring stupid reality into the fantasy, my back and neck don't like the second image at all.)

That said, welcome, welcome!

Yeah, I like working in cafes too -- definitely a sexier locale than a cube.

Thanks for the welcome! It's nice to be here finally.X

I realize I'm a few weeks late, but no one gave you the complete rundown, so let me attempt it...

1. "The capacity for work or vigorous activity; vigor; power / Vitality and intensity of expression / Usable heat or power: Each year Americans consume a high percentage of the world's energy." (Dictionary.com)
Also an Operation Ivy Cd, an overused buzzword in business, and, perhaps
a) everything that isn't matter
b) above, plus matter
depending on yr worldview re: theoretical physics.

2. Can't answer that one, although I remember an eccentric high school teacher telling/playing mildly funny jokes in/around PASCAL. I remember reading someone who offered a theory that puns were bug reports for the english language, unplanned coincidences as it were. So either computer languages lack puns because of the systematic manner of their construction, or I have some justification for laughing every time I see a blue screen of death.

3. Sort of. They (work stations) suggest power, dominance, or virility (Vitality and intensity of expression?) ( ... )
