  1. Matthew — Love your set up. 🙂 Phenomenal, clean and efficient. Elegant, really.
    But as an old timer — around since before tech and the keyboards — in a time when we all used pens and pencils for note taking, letter writing, homework … EVERYTHING, it drives me crazy to see the way today’s “kids” hold writing instruments. 🙂 Although your printing and mine look exactly alike — so I guess you’re doing just fine .. ha haa 🙂
    How would you rate the quality of the IKEA drawer units supporting your desk top?? Is it particle board-type? It looks great and appears fairly solid.. though probab;y not real wood??
