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.

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.
Any time at all is tuba time. Watch for the signs.
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.

I wonder what the strangest posting location was for this board?
Hmm in this knee scenario physical therapy is really helpful i have personally experience of this therapy last but not for the same scenario but the results are quite cool
