Update on Home SW computer, $1000

Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?

Just getting my new system up and rolling now--cost 3X as much! But it's my primary workstation.

"What does it mean when your home workstation is about 3 times better than the one at work?"
It means your boss/company is wasting money. Payroll is one of the largest expenses in running a company. Time wasted on a slow computer is money wasted, not to mention possible lost data issues. A CAD workstation more that 2 years old is wasting money. Convince them to upgrade your workstation and let your old computer become a really good desktop for somebody who does not do CAD. Tell'em I said so!
