Do you have a posture like Quasimodo, because of inordinate periods spent hunched over a keyboard? Unless you are fortunate enough to have Esmerelda on hand to massage those cramped back muscles, a notebook desk could be the next best answer to your bellringing blues.

If yousuffer from leg burns caused from constant laptop overheating, orthat aggravating neck and shoulder strain sustained from awkwardtyping positions, Jose Calero may be your man. Calero, the developer of the Laptop Desk and president of LapWorks Inc, went into business just over five years ago tocreate laptop aids that take these kinds of hassles out of mobilecomputing.

Calerospent nearly three years studying the industry to determine thetop hazards of using a laptop, to both the user and the computeritself. Of course, the leading "cause of death" is, naturally, alaptop crashing to the floor.

His research also revealed that the second-leading laptop problemis overheating - which can lead to unfortunate incidents.....Suchas the time the editor was locked into a game of Medieval war,for research purposes of course. After over 12 hours continuousplay, the loveable Ed's bottom grapes (allegedly) flared up toexceedingly uncomfortable levels, leading to a brief, butembarrassing, period of cottage hospitalisation.

Laptops, of course, indicate that, by their very name, they aremade largely to be used on a person's lap, for convenience andmobility. But laptoppers soon started making noise when storieslinking notebooks to infertility surfaced.

Luckily LapWorks have a tool, made expressly to ensure burn -and slip-free lap typing, while also cooling the computer - TheLaptop Desk.

In April 2002, the Laptop Desk v2.0 became the industry's firstdual-purpose lap desk, which doubles as a desktop stand for moreergonomically-correct typing on desks. The Laptop Desk UltraLite followed in 2004.

And, for your latest cooling and typing pleasure, LapWorks putLaptop Legs (for PCs) and Mac Feet (for Macs) on the market inMarch. The "legs" and "feet" attach to the bottom of yournotebook, which elevate it, eliminating possible futurecarpal-tunnel syndrome and visits to the nearest hospital's burnunit.
