    (After a nights rest...)
    I have often wonder why so many people work in town, most go from home to work only to sit in front of a computer screen and phone which I'm sure with today’s technology could be easily accomplished at home.
    The employers don’t have to provide office space, car parking or other animates. And the employee doesn’t have to spend two hours a day going back and forth wasting gas and time.
    Work still pays for the computer (which remains their property) and pays phone and broadband.
    Never late for work, work can still monitor output, more free time, less sick days, better home security and good for parents.
    There would be some down sides, the IT guys would have to be mobile for a start...
    But with less traffic on the roads so what?
    What would I know tho... And ya can’t E-mail me your car so I would still have to go in.
    We all have our little obsessions...

    The petrol tax don't get into Auckland roads. They disappear somehow.
    If they did get to Auckland roads, we'd be having 5 lanes motorway by now.
