Oh jeez, I had to put up with that for 3 months when I moved into a new place 100 miles from my mum. You know you're a geek when you have a freephone tech support number just for your family to call you with tech problems. Or you set up a free cellphone calling group for the same purpose. I've done both. FML. :-| codegecko

I understand the flip side of this argument, but I work in a company of 5 people - 3 developers, 1 sales guy, and the boss (who also writes code). We ALL have dual monitors (including the sales guy) and turn over around £500K (about USD $1m) per year. Yeah, it's counterproductive...
