Er... Steve, that should read "happiness" with 2 p's and "makes" instead of "amkes", right? 😉

As much as I wouldn't mind telecommuting from home, I'm not sure about telecommuting from a Starbucks or another public location. Although there are security measures that can be taken for protecting data over a public network, I'd still be leery about people around me coming by to see what I'm working on. But telecommuting definitely offers the benefits you mention.
