Chirstmas in April

Just received my upgrade to my work computer. It's pretty responsive. It should be with 2, yes, 2 gigs of RAM with a P4 3.6GHZ. Also it has dual flat panel monitors on a X600 series Radeon, 160G drive, a DVDRW drive, and an optical mouse. But I'm stuck using windows 2k until June when we upgrade some of my vital support software to a version compatible with XP. Oh, the pain. The pain. Some of the cool keyboard extra keys apparently don't work with Win2K, so I'll just limp along for a few months.
I know its a work comp but how I'd like to take this baby home, except for the fact in has Insmell in inside. amd64 pwns insmell.

Anything I want. Ok. Enough megalomania. During a work day I'll have 10 to 20 applications open at the same time. I'll have one virtual desktop from a server open, Visual Basic environment, 4 or 5 custom applications ready for quick reponce for support calls, and eMail. Notepad open for quick notes on support calls. The Track-It help desk log program. My batch flow monitoring program. And don't forget Firefox just so I can Google any programming item I get stuck on or check the revised release date for Spiderman 3.
Yeah. I'm a power user.
