Agree. When I was younger I built this monster ESX server for all my programming whims. Now, the server is still there, but it's primary job is a NAS for my kids' DVD collection. I sit in front of it maybe once a week. Most of my hobby programming is now done at work. Friday afternoons are set aside to experimental stuff that may or may not be related to work.
