    An armchair programmer - what next?

A bedtime programmer! For a period of time my machine (a 386
with Unix and goodies on it) was on the desk next to my bed,
and I did write quite a few lines of code while laying in it. My
girlfriend was a bit jealous, but she did actually manage to
win me over... :->.

	Disclaimer: I am not really this nerdish. Just a
	temporary situation. Now my machine is in my study!
	I know of people that are much worse :->.
