My home office is approximately 10x14 feet in dimension and I share it with no one but the cats. My workstation is a Power Macintosh G5 running Mac OS X. It's equipped with four high resolution monitors, spanning just under 6 feet wide (and roughly 7 megapixels. :-)

My office is quiet, private, extremely well-lit, and optimally configured for both comfort and productivity. The only distraction I ever have is the occasional feline visitation (mostly, they sleep) or perhaps the rare doorbell events if the postman delivers a package,

We have an always-up, firewalled, broadband Net connection. Our local intranet consists of a "family pack" of Mac OS X machines, plus a sole remaining Mac OS 9 system that can run Windows 98 under Virtual PC.

Conveniently located nearby are a photocopier, a fax machine, a high-resolution color scanner, and a high-speed high-res duplex laser printer. I have a personal telephone line and voicemail.

Close at hand, I keep an extensive personal reference library of books on many subjects. These cover English grammar, style, and syntax, as well as Perl, HTML, CGI, XML, PHP, Apache, C, and much more.
