Two is One and One is None.

Whenever I buy one thing for work, I buy a spare. Whenever I'm down to
my last widget, I buy another before using it.

Yesterday I was setting up for an important all-hands video meeting. At
the last minute they decided they wanted a camera facing the room and
another facing a local speaker. Originally, I was assured there wouldn't
be a local speaker.

Luckily, I had 2 webcams and 2 powered USB extension cables, and wired
it up quickly.

There's one exception - the office has 3 coffee makers - a Bunn office
drip maker, Keurig and a Nespresso. I had nothing to do with that...

The same is true of basic computing.

Nice! Spares are always great! Went to see Million Dollar Quartet in Memphis
a few years ago. Each actor was playing and singing the stuff themsleves,
but I noticed that there were TWO guitars on stage for each one. They never touched the spare, but being a broadway production I assume if something
went wrong they would just grab the other one and never miss a beat.

LOL - if you did, it would be TWO of each? ;-)

I've liked those little Nespresso makers, I would put one in my office in a heartbeat.

I love the SMELL of coffee, but not the taste.

I have had some coffees I could drink, like the local 'dirty snowman' as
long as it's heavy in cream. :-)
