I WIN! ...Sorta.
Ok, so update regarding the latest Epic Showdown between me and the parental units.
For one thing, my room is cleaner than it has probably been at least since before Adrian was born. Let me tell you, it feels weird.
More importantly, I am being allowed to keep my desktop! At least, assuming Dad doesn't decide to renege on his "compromise." As long as I remove the scanner/printer/thingy from my room so there's enough space for both laptop and desktop to share on the desk, I can keep them both. Because that makes it no longer a fire hazard. Or something. Apparently, my folks believe that propping it on my lap in bed, away from any blankets, is going to start a fire. Yes, I'm WTFing over that just as much as you are.
Admittedly, not being able to have the scanner around is an inconvenience--but, supposedly Dad's giving me the old scanner that he had for one of our old computers, and really, the scanner is the thing I probably use most. So, small victory there.
