And I quote from the original post.....(in case you didn't read)

what if I do it with a laptop from work?

Hence my original reply:

The safest answer is that if an outside enterprise (be it an employer, client, free public library connection, whatever) supplies any part of the resources necessary for you to do whatever it is you're doing, they can and likely do monitor it - and in many cases will control it.
And as I said, when he said "home computer" I am working under the impression it's a personal machine, bought by himself, for his own personal use and not for business use.

you are right if it's a company issued laptop, he didn't clarify. So please, get over yourself.
