I keep an old classic in the garage for power failures the cordless phones may go with the power but not that phone.

Books is on the list I just cannot flip through an e-copy of a reference book

@KamWrex: Classic is definately the way to go. I would also add that you really budget for good shoes. Just like a great office chair. You are in them most of the time it is worth the extra for wear and tear and comfort

I think it is a matter of function. In my home office I have a large "L" shaped desk that has plenty of storage a large keyboard tray with plenty of deskspace above for paperwork. This space evolved during my college years into what it is now.

@Lazzzara: I see my weekend unfolding thank you so much for the information

I personally get really emotional and lost in my music and collect it to obsession, my gear…

@eliavictor: I concur completely

Lets hope it fixes the random reboot problem that just started happening on mine

@TheFu: Why not the LP's my LP's by no means are going away but many have been digitized and are now portable

I would have added display fusion for the multiple monitor crowd. I also would not have added Itunes to the list you wont see it on any of my computers

In the order of most often used:

Spending a good amount of time at work patching I did not want to go through the same thing at home. I uninstalled all but the bare necessities at home and use calendar reminders to run updates for the few remaining pieces of software that I have installed. During my "maintenance" I also run any scans or other system…

@bullwinkle12: I seen some intersting articles about this subject on Gizmodo and on Paul Thurrots supersite for windows would post links but the wifi in this coffeeshop is making browsing a pain
