>>>Just thought I would share the things that have made my working with a laptop more comfortable. I'm at coffee shops or hotels a lot, so with lots of research and a little trial-and-error, these are what work best for me. I also work at home sitting on the couch so I made a simple lap desk out of a 12" x 24" thin hardwood board, with a section of a styrofoam piece glued underneath that adds tilt and is comfortable on my legs. Works great. I'll send pics if anyone is interested. Too big to carry around, but great for the house.

>>...I picked up a Seagate 1TB FreeAgent external hard drive for $309 (and no rebates) from CompUSA over the weekend. I should have it full around Monday afternoon...hahaha. The most annoying thing I deal with is the zillion USB cables and a USB Hub I carry around. I want one of those new wireless USB hubs, but seeing how than run about $400 right now, I'll be waiting for Moore's law to catch up with those for a while before I buy one.

>Yeah, I've got my hub pretty organized. I keep the cables tied and short for the most part. This will sound very retentive, but I use little colored circle stickers on each accessory and the matching power/data cords. Makes finding the right cable for the right accessory much easier.

>Looking for a very small portable fan right now. Gotta have it cool when I work...
