I'm picturing the laptop sitting open, and your keyboard sitting on the desk between you and the opened laptop. Does that mean that the distance between you and the monitor is the depth of both keyboards? I've tried that and found that the monitor was too far away. Especially since laptop monitors are small to begin with. My laptop (which recently conked out on me) was hooked up to a separate keyboard, mouse and monitor. I was mostly using the laptop the same way I'd use a desktop machine. If I wanted just the laptop, it wasn't too hard to disconnect the cables. -- Joyce I will not sniff at my male human's feet after he takes his shoes off, freeze my mouth open in disgust and then sniff my private parts to compare odors. -- Cat Resolutions |
