At this very instant, my PC is running a QEMU virtual machine running 
the Windows XP installation procedure (which now has only "37 minute 
remaining"), a ping monitor that's counting the number of packets 
dropped between the UK and HQ, Outlook 2003, Word 2003, Thunderbird 
(obviously!), and just to top it off, Firefox is open on a page full of 
dancing Flash animations.

I need a more powerful machine. Or maybe just a spare machine to run all 
the other stuff on... The virtual machine installation has been going 
for about 2 hours so far. Hmm, maybe I should run the ping monitor from 
the server, so it's always active? I'd need to improve the logging though...
