Re: Not having a 'Plan B' is madness
The desktop is a working alternative to the laptop. Has the same material on it (modulo some dispensable fluff). Connects to the same network. Etc.
If the laptop suddenly dies, working exclusively at the desktop could get me through the couple of days needed to find a new laptop, install software and transfer data. But if I don't get a new laptop, a couple of weeks for product recall is a whole different ballgame.
