DH and I have computers side by side in the office but he hasn't been on the computer in almost two years because it's too difficult for him to sit very long because of his bad back. I suspect there may be a struggle in my future because he's already asking questions about the laptop, i.e. using it while he's resting.
One of the things I'm REALLY going to love about it is I can take it with me to use in my workshop!
I don't know how many times I've had to make trips back upstairs to check for info or pictures I've saved on my computer as guidance for some of my creative ideas.
