On a desk, with legs made from dried-out pens purposely about 1/2"
longer than the standard ones.

Lighting's important; just the right angle and brightness setting for
maximum contrast without reflections.

Hi, 

I keep my Model 100 plugged-in, so the battery doesn't go down to zero.  I
played with it a little, but yes, the small display is annoying.  

I do plan to write a little program or two for the computer to control
either a stepper motor for music, or a servo motor for a mobile art project,
similar to the one I did for my Altair 8800c computer:

Hey all!

I was wondering if people would be willing to share how they typically use
their Model Ts.

I've found that it's pretty difficult for me to find a comfortable position
to use my Model 100 for any length of time. I'm always bending forward to
get a better view when I sit at a table or desk, and when it's on my lap the
lack of palmrest causes the keyboard to slide too close to my body making it
hard to type.

Do you typically only use them on desks? Do you use yours on your lap?
Do you use a lap desk? Any tips for how you comfortably use a Model T for
longer stretches (30+ minutes) would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey all!

I was wondering if people would be willing to share how they typically
use their Model Ts.

I've found that it's pretty difficult for me to find a comfortable
position to use my Model 100 for any length of time. I'm always bending
forward to get a better view when I sit at a table or desk, and when
it's on my lap the lack of palmrest causes the keyboard to slide too
close to my body making it hard to type.

Do you typically only use them on desks? Do you use yours on your lap?
Do you use a lap desk? Any tips for how you comfortably use a Model T
for longer stretches (30+ minutes) would be appreciated.

Thanks!
