Well, if you really wanna chew those fingernails, have your work machine be pathetically too slow to do much of anything. I'm on a older ThinkPad laptop so I just read the BBS, marvel at all the posts Ripsnort has, and read the usenets until its time to go home and fire up the Lancaster.
I did get to work from home for a while and that was great...I suspect some of my tech support callers were suspicious of the droning sound of the Lancasters engines in the background....
