I love the idea of the MP3′d CDs being stacked on the spindles of old packages of blank CD r/ws. Thanks for that!

My solution to the “slow startup problem” is to never turn my work computer off. Every day, I pick up with my stuff mostly where I left it before. It may be wasteful of electricity, but I figure my time is far more valuable. This lets me trade the everyday timewaste of startup for the periodic slowdowns caused by RAMrot and solved with a reboot.

I like this post on getting rid of your stuff. While I can’t say I’m actively getting rid of my stuff, I move just last month and had a major purging of crap I don’t need. I definitely am making more conscious decisions when it comes to the typical American “consumerism” culture where we’re always on the verge of wanting MORE STUFF!

I have that Ikea desk! So far it hasn’t been bad – a little dark because a lamp is kind of awkward under there, especially with two monitors. The supports under the desk are to keep it stable, but you will kick them. I took them out to have more room for my legs and the whole thing is wobbly now.

If you think the salad spinner is bad, wait until you receive wedding presents, One can only use so many bun warmers and chip/dip dishes. But when they come from a loved one…

I don’t enjoy wet salads!

I think a 15-year mortgage would have worked out to be around the same cost per month as we spend now, but the property values in the area are low, there’s no growth in the area, and it’s not a well-connected part of Charlotte. A 15-year mortgage isn’t horrible, though. Another factor is that even Greg wouldn’t want to live here for more than about 2-3 years more, and it seems like we would still be in the negative on the deal (closing costs, etc.) in that time frame.

I’m also not sure we could get a loan at a great rate or at a fixed rate. I haven’t checked with a bank to see what I’d be approved for, but I do have a couple of Stupid Moves on my credit from the year we graduated. o_O

The multifunction printer looks pretty sweet. If I hadn’t bought a color laser less than a year ago (also a Brother), then I’d be all over it. I wonder if I could sell the color printer (which cost more) to cover the costs of the multifunction… Trade up, as it were. Hmm…

Also, on sheet-fed scanners: I bought a multifunction laser printer last year. It includes a networkable sheet-fed scanner. In addition, you get to have a color laser printer. I’ve been pretty happy with it so far.
