Car Desks

[Will Wickham]

Hi Ginny et al,

I figured one of these was worth a try. I had some furniture-grade  
plywood left over from a shelving project so I built my own. It is  
excellent! Easy to take in and out for a passenger, and it holds all  
my "office" stuff. On the weekends I cover it with a furniture pad  
and the dog (a Shih-tzu) uses it as a car seat when he rides shot- 
gun. And it does make a great desk for my laptop - but not when  
driving... I know a guy that almost lost his life on the back of a  
cement truck because he was using his laptop while driving.
