Subject:Re: Suggestions on how to fasten a laptop while driving?

Hi David:

Well, methinks the best way is to mount it to the front table of a westy
with either velcro or straps..

Turn the table around so it's between the seats as you drive. We do this,
and it's very convenient.

It's also a great place to attach cupholders etc, especially if you're on a
long trip.

Uh - I just had an epiphany!

Why not make a new tabletop - with cupholder holes built in!

Why not route out a rectangle for the laptop to nest in? Then you could use
rotating  pegs or clips to hold it in!

Finally, a good use for the front table!

Comments?
