I'd love to do it, but I have been spoilt by my 24" external display (I need the screen real estate for my development work). The co-working space I use in Leeds is okay though, as they provide nice 30" Cinema Displays :) I agree with Zviki.

I think mostly because I got spoiled: I'm having a hard time without my external 20" display (I'm working with my Laptop's display and the external together). I used to do that more than I do today.

From what I've read (none close to me), a coworking location would be exactly what he's looking for. Sounds like Mathew should investigate coworking.

I've found I'm significantly more productive than when I'm at home...most liked because of the steady stream of caffeine flowing through my veins...

They are perfect for nomads and really extend where you can work. If only they had a dual phone/wireless so I could pay one plan and have one device. @Jacob you could always just get a cellular wireless card.

Looks like I pushed "publish" just a little too soon. Fixed now - thanks for the catch, Jeremy and Kelly. Matthew's blog is well worth regular visits. Whoa, sorry about that!
