Just like my iMac :D

At the moment I don't use any kind of laptop stand and I'm OK though.

wow...american and british engineering must have hit an all time low when webhosting admins have to even CONSIDER a stand to move a laptop screen up or down 3.5 inches?!?

I, uh (don't shoot me for being old fasioned) have mine sitting on a briefcase and it only raises it 3.25 inches but didn't cost me a penny... do people actually buy that stuff and if so, can we sell it to folks in India making all that money on the outsourcing debates raging around here? And if we can sell it to them, do you think we can get the folks in Malaysia to make it for us cheaply?

People...Its more of a fashion statement than anything else. Also, wouldn't most people use there home computer instead of using a laptop at home? Or do most people only have a laptop?

Some of us like the convenience of a device made just for its use; not to mention having a clean, nice desk.
