office. Even if my laptop is misbehaving remote desktop usually works
great.

I picked up the server off of eBay for about 800$ and it supports a couple
of programmers and some office staff. The biggest downfall is we can only
have one copy of vt pro running at a time but with just two programmers it
really hasn't been that big of a deal.

Best part is we can use cheap little disposable laptops and still have the
power of quad core and 10gb of memory available to us.

I do a lot of my programming on the road so using a desktop is probably

I have been using Radioshack fans and they seem to help, but my Mac is

just accept this and budget a new laptop (and software) every year or so.?

Rdp. No it works great. Like I said the only drawback is only 1 person
can
have vt pro open at a time. But simpl windows works fine running
multiple
copies by multiple users.
