3 systems

I'm typing this on my laptop, an Apple PowerBook 12", at a customer's site while I'm waiting for my contact to return.

I'm configuring a server here; to do so, I'm logged in to one of their system, which has an SSH connection open to the server, and I have a second system which I'm using to test out the configuration. That second system is a laptop running Windows 2000.

Unfortunately, the system went into suspend mode because I hadn't plugged it into the power, and now it's locked. And I don't have the password. So I can't test my configuration, and will have to wait until my contact returns so that he can unlock it.

Since everything is preferable to waiting, I took out my own laptop and started reading some Usenet posts (they prefer me not to log on my laptop to the network here, but luckily there's leafnode). As I was sitting there, typing away on the laptop, one of the employees of this place walked and saw me typing. Quote: Isn't one computer enough these days?.

Heh. Well, no; I explained that I actually do need all three of them. What I didn't tell him, however, is that at home and at the office, three isn't even enough...

Perhaps I should rearrange my computers.
