Our "headquarters," such as they are, consists of a computer with two monitors on a desk in the living room of our president/programmer/lead designer -- a room which he shares with five kids who run around screaming while he programs.

Sounds like we should get try to get ourselves some tax breaks, though I'd personally vote that the money first go to hiring a plumber to retrieve the toy his daughter dropped into the downstairs toilet before we do any new construction...

We all gain.
