Anyone know of a good laptop stand?

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

My fist two weeks with the laptop have been a real joy.  Normally I spend days setting up a new system but I was able to transfer everything including installed programs from my Imac over to my MacBook Pro.  I REALLY like how apple does this and I wish that every system let you move installed applications so easily. I bet it saved me 45+ hours of work, this is why I am now Steve Jobs fanboy.  

When at my house I connect my laptop to my apple display and use a bluetooth key board and mouse.  I love the setup but recently some called to attention one ‘problem’ with it.  I wanted to have the laptop the same height as the screen so when I looked around my den I grabbed the fist thing I had that was the desired height.

I have not used my copy of Office XP Developer in some time due to the fact I purchased Office 2008 for the mac.  I love it when I am able to reuse something however it is a bit of an eye sore compared to the rest of the setup.   Does anyone know of a good laptop stand that is frugal?  I just spend all my play money on a new laptop to I have to be price conscious.  If you do know of one drop me a e-mail or leave a comment on the blog please.
