I'm using a laptop with 2 x 27" monitors (Ubuntu) and a desktop PC with 2 x 24" monitors (Windows). I prefer separate machines as I sometimes need to connect to multiple VPNs simultaneously, but that's beside the point. I use a normal indoor door, the hollow ones, as a working surface and then 2 trestles at the ends as legs. Many years ago (the late '80s when I also worked from home) I had 2 light metal trestles that were quite narrow, that was perfect. Now I use the builder's type which is a bit wide and wastes space, but it still works for me and is a cheap solution. One can always paint the surface with oil-based paint or varnish to get a smoother finish. Edit: I only now saw that you're using a 55" display... That's something else again, would love one though.

I am doing more support than development these days and the first thing when someone asks me for help is what they have done to find an answer? Investigations, using Google for answers, etc. For programming issues, we generally allow a person a maximum of 2 hours to try on their own before asking for help, but then that person must be able to show what has been done/tried in that time. If it is a high priority issue, it may be sooner but then I hope the person really tried, else sarcasm/lmgtfy will come to the front.

Almost the same for me, thank goodness!

Anydesk works very well, I use it often.

Ok, thanks, my bad :) I don't even think of things such as .NET, it doesn't exist in my current life. If I can't find a suitable library, I have to create the functionality. It's just a completely different environment.

No, you didn't, it just seemed that way to me. I wouldn't even bother with C# in between, but that's a personal opinion, still trying to understand the logic though.

I just wish to understand how C is more cryptic than C++?

I loved both of those at the time, but that was very long ago. K&R was my intro to C in about 1985/6 and Stroustrup followed as soon as I could get hold of it, having started C++ in 1986 with the Glockenspiel C++ translator (Cfront 1.1).
