I've worked in freelance writing and editing for many years from a room at home - long before the many advantages technology now offers. After a period of being out there in the workforce I am now fully at home, editing etc. However, I feel I do not have the ideal set-up to work efficiently as my technological knowledge is limited. What do people consider the basics of setting up at home in terms of equipment and systems - eg broadband, landline (yes or no), wi-fi (whatever that is), laptop or PC, wireless (again I don't fully understand), networking. What are the SOHO basics?
