I dunno, where do you put the cushion when you get up?

- no space around me to put it, so floor, where you just know I'm 
going to trip on the power cord. I'd sent everything flying!

Note: Flying netbooks, bad. Flying netbooks stopping suddenly against 
hard surfaces, really bad. Problem: perpetual motion machine - keep 
laptop not landing, not yet invented. Further problem: once flying - 
how to recapture? Boomerang shaped?
