The Floating PowerBook

Posted by timothy on from the ooh-spooky dept.

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."

    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.

      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.

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

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