What's this?

Me too

Now I didn't have internet access at work until a couple years ago, and then it was a terminal shared by a bunch of people. Only in the last 6 months have I had had a terminal of my own on my desk (I work at DOD and our internal network is classified so I do all my work on that and it can't connect to outside from my primary work terminal).

Now that I have an unclass terminal on my desk.... well I'm still getting the paper but its days could be numbered. I spent my lunch today on the unclass terminal and haven't cracked my paper open yet. I'll probably look at it this evening at home. It's just a matter of time before I stop forking over the $ for it.
