Where do you post from?

This is rather unscientific and I'm sure that Sean can provide exact numbers. But, just on the surface, it appears to me that TubeNet gets most of its traffic during the daytime hours on weekdays.... excluding holidays. This leads me to think that most of the TubeNetters post from computers at work. Just curious.

Being an insurance agent by trade, I post while I am waiting on someone else to act on something before I can finish an ongoing task. It's in short spurts but always available.

I am but an innocent schoolboy, so I usually post from home, but sometimes post from my school's computer lab (I have to circumvent the dorn filters, though)

NEVER buy a *used* laptop.
That should go double for a used Blackberry.

weird,
I have a used (out of box, but bought from a store) blackberry 8800 that has been fine and I bought a mac laptop on the board here that worked ok. It didn't last as long as I would have hoped, but I still got some good use out of it.

Honestly, Wade, if you're not going to read the original Russian, why bother???
PS: Posted from the faculty room at work. It's the last day before winter break, and I just finished packing away a ton of equipment, so it's one of the rare times I'll post from work instead of home.

Home. My department frowns so hard on personal computer use that I refuse to do anything at all of a personal nature on the office's computers. If I had a personal lap top, I might post at lunch, but it is just easier to stay clean if you don't do it.

NEVER at work - either ancient PC desktop or almost ancient Mac IBook at home.

I post from my computer in dorms or at home. I never work regular hours (9-5), but I usually make checking out the forums a regular activity, when I have in-between-class time.

Probably 99% of my TubeNet activity is on my work computer. It's a tablet PC with an aircard which allows me to check in while on the road. When at home, I use the same PC simply for the sake of convenience. I am fortunate in the aspect that my current employer (and my previous) allow personal use of company resources within reason.
