My workstation 'charm' is to be one of my computers in my office. Next is 'tact'.
I've been spec'ing out a wish-list for my future workstation which will replace 'tact'. Note that it might be nice to have multiple NICs, so that I can have a direct connection to justice, which has 4 NICs, only three of which are allocated (for the Smoothwall GREEN, ORANGE, RED interfaces).
