Laptop positions

[Cloud]

I don't like to type on my laptop. I can't get comfortable. Surfing, fine, I can do that in whatever position. Actual work on it, composition, etc. I tend not to do as much as I could/should.

My normal sitting/lounging position is sitting with my legs flat on my futon, and I have the laptop to the side on a basket. I can put the LT on my lap (on a book) which is all right for a while. I can put it in front of me between my legs, which hurts my back. I also have a small table which I use occasionally, which isn't satisfactory for a number of reasons.

Any great tips? suggestions? No laptop pron, please!
