I have, on occasion been away from my laptop and gotten the call to go =
to the colo and deal with XYZ hardware problem and the colo was either: =
A in the opposite or orthogonal direction from my house and =
significantly closer or B the colo was between my present location.
In such cases, I will occasionally stop by the colo without going home =
to retrieve the laptop. 90% of the time it works out OK. 10% of the time =
I end up leaving the colo, going home, retrieving the laptop and =
returning to the colo. Obviously, if there was a loaner laptop available =
for a $15 rental in the colo as described, it would probably be worth =
$15 to me and/or my organization to avoid the delay and bother of the =
round-trip between colo and home.
