Cool laptop holder: oysterdock

From Kevin Kelly's "Cool tools" e-zine:

If you use a laptop, the Oysterdock is fabulous. Very very simple, but just what you've always wanted for your home workstation. It's a really simple idea, but they're good looking and solve an irritating problem: putting a laptop screen where its easy to see. You supply your own peripherals (all you want — the dock organizes and hides all the cords). There are just a few laptops that won't work with it (i think they list them on the site), basically the ones that don't open to (nearly) 180 degrees.

They sell for $150 here, or at Amazon.
