What's on your desktop? Not the virtual one but the real one.
Right now I have two monitors, a keyboard, a mouse and a KVM switch.
There are also an empty coffee cup (with the word TEA written on it),
two landline telephones and a mobile, a pile of unanswered mail, a toy
penguin called Tux, a half-empty bottle of Lucozade Sport and, for no
apparent reason, a 2 metre length of Cat5 cable.

Lots of stuff.
Probably too much to enumerate, actually - and I need to clear some of it
off, because I am getting some new gear next week - including a new 27"
monitor for work. I'm not sure exactly where I'm going to put it,
because I hate to block the view I have to the north out my window.

Three candles, a lava lamp, a plasma ball, a fibre-optic lamp, my
keyboard and monitor, my stereo system, my *other* keyboard [the musical
kind], about 400 CDs, a digital 8-track, a laser printer, an Ethernet
hub, an assortment of stationary, my sound card, and my digital camera.
Oh, and not forgetting the USB key which allows Cubase to run. If you
divide purchase price by physical volume, that's probably the densest
object on the desk.

The correct quote would be "are we talking about the little white furry
things with the cheese fixation and women standing on tables screaming
in early sixties sit coms?"
