The Floating PowerBook

Pingsmoth writes "With the proliferation of laptops today, many replacing the traditional space-hogging desktop computer, this seems like a neat idea to free up even more square footage on your desk. It's the floating laptop, a 'stand,' if you will, that is invisible to the average user and just as functional as other traditional laptop stands. The obvious appeal of the 'Floating Laptop' is its aesthetic quality, especially when compared to some of the other stands out there, but it's also cheaper ($15) and only takes a half hour to build."

Clean!

If he is complaining about his current stand taking up "valuable desk space," then perhaps he should get rid of that random vase of junk on the left and clean up his desk a bit more often.

It's prefect!

Naah - he's saying it works prefectly. Kind of hoopily, like the Powerbook-owning frood he is.

Cheers,

Nah, he just meant that it works "in the manner of a cool frood who really know where his towel is". High praise indeed.

I haven't read the article ... but..

...my experiments with a bath tub clearly show that powerbooks don't float.

How do you make a PowerBook float?

Two scoops of ice cream, and two scoops of PowerBook.

Hate mail goes here!

Other floating stands...

In one version you use Gorilla Glue to adhere the laptop to the back of a cat and buttered bread to the other.

The second version involves 4-8 very powerful magnets.

"Sandpaper"?

[some guy I know]

we have this magical solution to rough wood edges called sandpaper

There's no such thing as "sandpaper".
Paper made out of sand would quickly wear down any pen or pencil that a person would try to use to write on it.
Next thing you know, you're going to try to tell me that there are such things as boys made out of paper, tops made out of boxes, melons and pitchers made out of water, mobiles made out of autos, and balls made out of feet, bases, and baskets.
Do you think that I am that gullible?
Well, I'm not; there's just no way that I can be turned into a gull.
