I mean, honestly! Railz Hax0rs don’t care about “executive desks”? We all have lappy- toppies anyway. How about a single 60", wifi-dvi adapater, a gold-plated MBP (http:// [blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/10/bling-gold-plat.html](http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/10/bling-gold-plat.html)), my “ahhh- chair!” ([http://www.everythingfurniture.com/ih-robotic-massage-](http://www.everythingfurniture.com/ih-robotic-massage-) chair-13.html) and lots of Red Bull. Now, THAT would get my attention! 😉 -Danimal On Apr 11, 2:32 pm, James B. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---
