Steve, you win the prize for having the most impressive computer set I have ever seen, but it begs the question - why?
None of my business of course, but it looks like a small version the command center at JPL Labs, the people that track the Hubble telescope et al.

I'm a Systems Engineer for a large Consulting Firm and I also have my own private consulting business. I design and build networks for folks. My office is a scaled down version of the typical business networking environment. Servers, desktops and mobile (notebook) users. I work with several different operating systems so I need to be well enough versed in all of them to provide my customers with sound decisions. I also need to test constantly. Having all the equipment in a lab environment allows me to do this with out disrupting the customers daily business life.
10 Years ago, I left the Navy to pursue my life long dream of furniture making and cabinetry. I didn't do very well and as a result decided I needed more time to learn it properly. I still needed an income so I went into the line of work I knew which was Information Technology. Unlike Navy life, I've had a stable environment to learn woodworking in for the past 10 years and I now believe I know where I went wrong. On July 31st I will be leaving the firm that I'm with, keeping my private consulting business and opening a furniture and cabinetry shop. This time, I'll actually have real tools to work with !
These computers along with 2 big guys that you didn't see will be supporting a full service company intranet and a public access website. Steve - in Northern California
OK, I am impressed! Good luck in your "retirement"

Steve,
You have your hands full! Don't forget to take a break and watch the redwoods grow. Ive never seen one I bet their size would be hard for a country boy to understand how it could have avoided being cutdown for so long. Sorry about getting side tracked but I associate Northern California with redwoods like some associate KY with rednecks. grin< >
