I own my own computer for and work as an IC from home.
I have a question regarding computer etiquette, I guess you'd call it. Do you consider it rude or out of line for another family member who is visiting your home to use your computer and to do so without asking? I am uncomfortable about this but since I didn't speak up the first time it happened, I feel like I didn't set a boundary and to do so now would be tough.
Personally, I would never dream of using someone else's computer. But that's just me.
What do you think of this?

Beg, borrow, or steal not to have that payment be late!!!
It does not matter how little you have left on it. Late is late in my opinion.

Wild guess-borrow a wireless?? Go to an open wirless and work from the car if you have to?
Where there's a will there's a way - keep asking and keep talking, someone will help you. Ask the company you work for to help you out here, perhaps they have a plan for you if they value your association.
