I'm a laptop coder. For months now I have sat at my desk with a full workstation, and brought my laptop from home to work on. I dont use a docking station, no external kb, no mouse, just my thinkpad. I would have it no other way :)
Yesterday I was coding, and as I was printing out some use cases and sequence diagrams I was thinking, man I waste alot of paper. Then I looked at the monitor on my desk that hasn't been turned on in a long time, and thought why the heck am I not using that as a second monitor?
I love that XP lets you do this. A few clicks around in the display properties, and suddenly I have my monitor running at 1200x, and my lappy at 1024x. I keep all my sql and spec documents on the monitor, and code, IM, and email on the lappy. Loving it.
