An Eclectic World
Off-Site Goodies
I currently deal with three computers on a regular basis, though only one is technically mine. I built my home desktop myself, and do hardwarre upgrades as needed/desired. The laptop and work desktop are "work issued" so any upgrades there will come from my job. Click on their names to see their current desktops :-)
