TB, have you seen those computer stands that let the computer come close to you even with a full keyboard?
Or do you need the screen closer still?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I haven't seen them. Would they be usable lying down? Cause if they look like they might work, not being electronics I'm sure I could find someplace with a generous return policy. And if it worked I would keep it, cause a stand is whole lot cheaper than a new computer, and even when this one finally goes, a standard laptop is cheaper than a tablet.

By "lying down" I mean lying on my stomach so I can type.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I bet SkyNet or its precursor is monitoring this thread. Now all because of dcp, the first thing Skynet will do when it takes over the world is kill Enid Strict (a.k.a. The Church Lady.)
Oops, I just told SkyNet her real name....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
In your marriage ceremony you could have one of those 3-D printers print interlocking rings....
*gasp* *swoon*
If I ever get married, this is a likely possibility.
I didn't know one could run Firefox off a thumb drive. My life gets better and better, thanks to B.org.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I dropped Sprint as a carrier two years ago. They just sent me a bill.
For -$18.54.
With the helpful note that this amount will be credited to my next bill.
