Over the course of the past couple of years, my PowerBook has become a fixture in the living room. When I'm not working in my office, I usually have it perched on my lap sitting in the living room while I'm watching TV or paying attention to the kids.

Up until now, I've really resisted accepting the PowerBook as a part of the living room decor, but there it is. And what I've begun to realize is that I have to integrate it into the living room more effectively than I've been doing.

So I'm looking for some kind of furniture that's ideal for this sort of thing. Nothing as gauche as a computer desk; that's the last thing I want. But I'm wondering if you have any ideas for other furniture I can use that can be my PowerBook's home away from home, as it were -- a perch, or a stand, or some other dedicated-function furnishing that would be a good place to lay the PowerBook when I'm not carrying it about. If you have any creative ideas, please let me know.
