I often saw expensive drafting tables selling for $10 and have one in my 
basement that was "sold" to me under the terms "if you want those file 
cabinets the table goes with them."

Before computers, a drafting table was the work surface of choice for 
graphic artists and draftsmen. I wonder if the future will bring us a 
large touch-operated work surface (perhaps 3 x 4 feet) and an adjustable 
angle (with most of us choosing 20 to 30 degrees).
