At the Cone's house, we have a long IKEA table that wraps around two walls in what was historically called the "dining room."  Now it's the "computer" room.  Maybe we should call it the other "family room" since our family spends so much time hereWe seat four people with four separate computers on this desk at the same time.

Office Desk on September 10, 2007

We're on the second floor of the Rankin Biomedical building just off I-75 in Holly, Michigan. This is a rural area surround by Michigan state parks. The westward view out the window is is very nice - especially in the fall.

At the Cone's house, there's a long tall IKEA table that wraps around two walls in a computer room. It can seat four people with four separate computers on this desk at the same time.

Michael Cone's Computer

Alienware mj12.jpg

This is Mike's main computer

About the experience of taking this notebook into a factory: "This computer gets a lot of stares and questions when I setup shop in the middle of a factory." It's glossy paint and glowing Alien eyes are much better looking in real life than in these images. The computer looks a bit out of place there.

It's an AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 dual-core Alienware MJ12 that is, of course, very fast compared to our other computers. Alienware is known for gaming. This one was adapted for business use.

By the way, if you're looking for a compact laptop, you should probably not consider this notebook. Alienware is careful to avoid the word "laptop" when referencing this computer. It is a BIG 17 inch wide notebook that feels like a space-heater with all those cooling fans. It will gladly burn and crush any lap simutaneously.

Mike's report: "I doubt many desktops can keep up with the mj12. Whether it runs or crashes Windows - it does it really fast."
