For one thing, it's often too easy to get distracted by things like my SF collection. If I'm not in the mood to work on something that *must* be done, being at home can be the worst thing for the project. More importantly, when I'm working at home constantly I get lonely. I don't find 'mail' to be a subsitute for face-to-face conversation, either professionally or socially. I need the informal personal interactions to keep me functional, and a terminal just doesn't cut it. (To be sure, when the net is down for a few days I miss my contacts with all you folks out there in network land as well.) --Steve
