I read it, and it was interesting.
I used to have my computer in our bedroom too, but my wife finally told me I had to move it out. Basically the same reason, except it would keep her awake. So, now we have all of our computers in our living room. Starting in one corner, we have My computer on a corner desk, my wifes computer on it's own small computer desk, then the kids computer, on a very small computer desk, basically in the corner, but it sits flat to the wall. Then on the next wall, we have an 8' Sofa with recliners built in at each end, an end table, next wall, another 8' sofa with end tables, next wall, the entertainment center. The door is between the entertainment center and my computer desk.
My wife and I will start a three way conversation with one of my brothers or her sister, and they will end up going away, and we keep talking to each other online. It's a little sad, I know. I do email her alot from there too, seems quicker than writing her a post it note, and I know she'll check her email as soon as she gets home.
