Also, you may be able to negotiate some upgrades to your computer -- more
memory, a second hard drive, a Zip drive or CD-RW, or whatever.

~~ Personally, I'd let the workstation go and I don't see asking for
compensation to use your PC. BUT I think that you'd be well-advised
to
negotiate up front who handles repairs and how quickly. (This can
become a
serious and expensive issue later on.) I'd also insist they provide
the
software they require. All of this presumes you're an employee, of
course,
not a contractor. As a contractor, I fully expect to incur all of
these
expenses and charge my hourly rates accordingly.
Best of luck!
