bring a desktop or laptop?

I have an interesting story in this matter:

I brought my laptop down, but only use it as a "suitcase" to load some digital photos of the training excitement here in Manassas, look up addresses and phone numbers.... I really had no interest in surfing or keeping up to date. But within the past few days, I gained a roomate that is rushing to sinc up with me, and a flight simulator would be useful in practicing approaches and such at night in the appartment. I have 2 days off coming up, I just might drive home and pick it up for both of our benefit, as I see much to practice coming up in the way of approaches, maneuvers, procedures, and CRM. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother lugging a desktop down unless you agree on using it for that purpose.
 
Yeah I want to use mine for the flight sim too. I dont see myself surfing the net much other than to check email. Actually I dont know if I will ever get the thing hooked up as it is a huge pain to figure it out. Don't know how to even go about picking up a random signal at the apt.

Oh yeah, gotta put my photos on there too. Will be taking a bunch of those for sure!!
 
yeah its funny, but myself and my roomate are the ONLY ones here in Manassas that do not have a flight sim trainer in the appartment. While I scoffed 6 months to a year ago at FS2004 bludgeoning its existence from my hard drive, I now think that for muscle-memory learning of ATP procedures, it is quite instrumental. ATP has specific calls and profiles you MUST fly everytime you leave the ground, and the only way to learn them is to memorize and chair fly- or more fun, fly actual flight-sim profiles with your roomate. You'll have to quiz each other sooner or later, why not start in the comfort of the appartment?

Now, lugging the CPU box nd monitor down will be a trick...
