I was where I am, in the same room of the same house, at the same desk by the same window (ghods that's depressing). I'm very sure that the computer has been changed several times, though, and the phone, and probably the chair, as well (though not nearly as often as the computer).

“They planned their campaigns just as you might make a splendid piece of harness. It looks very well; and answers very well; until it gets broken; and then you are done for. Now I made my campaigns of ropes. If anything went wrong, I tied a knot; and went on.”
-- Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington
