It's not going to be stationary, it's just that if it's lugged it's almost always in a car. If I'm home I'm going to be using the machine I'm posting this from--3x 19" screens, 4gb ram, admittedly a hyperthread rather than dual-core processor. (I'm waiting for Microsoft to get the kinks out of Vista so I can go past 4gb with the next machine.)
