missing a few red dots ie sitting on that hard stool would make ya a$$ and possibly back hurt as well

its a fact, there is no comfy way to enjoy a netbook XD i have an original eee 701 with the diddy screen and wherever i sit/lay/crouch its never comfy

Those images are the reason I pay a chiropractor $55 a week to sort out my back and neck.

Works great at keeping me pain free but tackling the root of the problem (get a monitor and docking station etc) would probably be much cheaper.

Use a phone book or two and then a external keyboard and mouse.

Exactly my thoughts too. Good job in my bedroom I now have a 26" TV mounted to the wall at an angle so that all I have to do is open my eyes and I can view it comfortably.

Now all I need is either a long VGA cable or to get and Acer Aspire Revo. I think the Revo is the best bet for the HDMI.

i normally watch my TV in bed with the EEE on my lap, but i open the screen as far back as poss and rest it againsed my legs so its like having a laptop stand (i normally have to rest it on a book though becuase it tries to eat the sheets and we all know that will = fire XD

So is there any 'safe' position to use one in?!

[BandyQuill]

According to the second pic, lying in bed is the best way - no red dots!

[BandyQuill]

thats what i was explaining... i wouldnt say no pain though, i think it depends on the person...

I usually just pin the notebook under my chin, so the screen is at eye level, and tap out what I want with my tongue.

Peoples comments are so funny! Haha
