It seems that I have become quite addicted to having the facilities of
a computer available at school and would not wish to give them up at
work. However many companies object strongly to the "unprofessional"
use of the system. (ie games, taxes, letter writing, etc) Therefore a
personal computer is essential. Additionally the educational benefits
of trying to write systems software on your own computer gives anyone
an advantage in dealing with the "big" guys at the office. Lastly,
where else could you program a computer to do nothing but wait for you
to open the door so that it could turn on the lights.
