My ibook, however, is PERFECT for computing in bed.

The monitor weighed a bazillion pounds, and the 'chassis' was long and blocky, and iirc, threw off heat like a space heater. My ibook, however, is PERFECT for computing in bed. No CRT, no wires, no 5 1/4" floppy drive that always sounds like it's about to eat the disk... :D Argh; that is soooo lame. even for the 80’s.

dig that bedspread. :D
