This device + a recliner = (drool...) laziness. Then all you need is this and this, and you won't have to move for days.

I like to take a milky way candy bar (not snickers.. nuts are too nutricious) and tie it to a string and hold it just out of reach of a couch-hacker dude.
It's funny to see him try and get it.
Be careful though, not to exert him too much or he'll have a heart attack.

I've got a 20 month old kid. Creating another is far from the first thought in my mind. When I want to have sex, I get out the oils, creams, etc. My wife gets out a can of mace.
There's more where these came from folks.

Using a notebook PC without something to rest it on is a bad idea.

...maybe even generate some electricity with the mechanical energy you create - eg, charging your UPS batteries or may- be the laptop's...!
I'm surprised that this idea isn't al- ready a product (or family of them... eg, with camping models, models for Amateur, Emergency Service or CB radios as well as computers.
You know the kind I mean:
Slow, meditative peddling (while thinking or keying)
Fast, intensive peddling (while making progress - burning off excess stress)
Perhaps it's time to start a project, eg:
- OpenOfficeFurniture,
- OpenOF,
- OpenBikeDesk,
- OpenExerDesk,
- OpenExDesk,
- OpenExDe or
- OpenED...or the like.;-\
