22" touch screen?

Wherever you go, there you are. And there’s your roommate, too, most of the time. Are you like me? My home office isn’t an office at all. It’s just my favorite end of the couch in the common room, where the light’s good and the cushion’s broken in to fit my sittin’ parts. But sometimes my roommate comes in while I’m busy working on my manuscript and he wants to watch TV. It’s coolâ€"that’s when I pick up my whole workstation and relocate to our breakfast bar in the kitchen. Right now maybe you’re thinking something like “WHAAAAAAAAT!? Pick up and move an ENTIRE WORKSTATION? Is this person delusional!? Has the whole world gone mad, mad I say!?†Well, let me assure you I am not delusional. And if I may be so bold as to suggest it, you might consider decreasing your daily energy drink quota. See, my workstation is a 22-inch touchscreen PC. It’s got a simple all-in-one design, a little like if it were the giant mutant freak of iPhones. In addition to the touchscreen, it’s got a nifty little wireless keyboard and mouse, and it takes up a lot less space than a desktop PC with a 22-inch screen would. Plus it’s a cinch to take with me on the go, wherever I want to get some work done. Like say my roommate can’t find anything on the tube, and comes into the kitchen to fix a snack. Well! There’s no way I’m going to get any serious writing done with his horrible, wet, mouth-smacking noises filling the room. But that’s no biggieâ€"I just pick up and move to the fire escape in the back. My Touchsmart PC is wireless-equipped, it’s got a built-in WLAN antenna, and I could use the fresh air anyway, right? But let’s say, let’s just sayâ€"for whatever reasonâ€"let’s say my roommate picks that moment to decide he’s going to go into the courtyard to do his jump-rope exercises. Why? Why right then? Who knows why people do the obnoxious, irritating stuff they do? It goes without saying that I’m not going to be very productive with all that grunting and thip-thip-thipping going on. No prob; I’ll just pick up and move to the bathroom. Yeah, that’s it. I’ll set up in the tub. Sure, it’s quiet in here, and no one willâ€"WHO’S KNOCKING!? OH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, RAYMOND. YOU HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW? OH, I SEE, JUMPING ROPE GIVES YOU “THE TROTS.†THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT. I DESPERATELY WANTED TO KNOW. But no big deal, I’ll just pick up and relocate to the front… hall… WHY ARE THERE TWELVE GARBAGE BAGS FULL OF BOTTLES AND CANS IN THE FRONT HALL?
