Default The NZB Desk...where it all happens

That's right, this is a picture of the actual desk from which NZB is administered.

It's 'run' by a server somewhere else in the world, but the day-to-day nitty-gritty happens here.

If you look closely, you should be able to make out the indentation where I bang my head.

But I bet you didn't have to carry/drag/collapse in a sobbing heap on your desk for 2 blocks.

That was a fun day...no car, but Warehouse (department store thing) 2 blocks down the road.

'Today is a good day to buy a desk!'

It turned out to be a lot heavier than I expected.

The flaws are hidden...one edge is ground off at an angle on a corner from being dragged along concrete, and the screws that hold the Keyboard tray in are too long because I lost a lot of the parts...so they stick out and jag people with their jaggyness.

Looks for toooo tidy for a computer geeks desk, but can see now why you had the spray and wipe by the computer desk

I can vouch for the hidden nasties. When dragging it from the spare room to the lounge (where it now resides) a screw reached out and grabbed me.

*shakes fist at screw*
