I get real work done on my SS20s, too.  They are my main human
interface machines, with assorted other tasks (the one I'm using right
now, for example, has a 16-port serial interface in it, which I use to
talk to various serial ports at various times; it also holds the
webcomics I follow, my collection of RFCs and images, it's the main
machine I work on my own software on, it's where I run my IRC clients
and most of my ssh client instances, and assorted other things I'm not
thinking of at the moment).

It's important to my paying work mostly for the human interface, the
ssh clients, the serial ports, the RFCs...oh, yes, it's also where I
keep most of my miscellaneous documentation on this-and-that, which not
infrequently gets called on when I'm doing paying work.  Most of the
paying work gets done on employer-owned hardware which I ssh to.

Is this tech-geek-in-the-basement?  Not literally; I'm well above
ground in a highrise (depending on exactly how you count, the floor
count varies from as low as 10 to as high as 20).  But I'm a computer
geek by both vocation and avocation, so, depending on what you mean by
it, maybe.
