Hey, someone stole my idea!

That first picture of the snack shelf over the keyboard is similar to something I made. Mine is out of wood on the ends and a 1/4" board that extends over the entire Apple Extended II keyboard. It isn't see-through so I have to use touch typing but it totally protects it from dirt. I don't put any drinks on it but use it for dinner, having snacks or writing on a pad when needed.

Will post a picture when I have time.

I made a mousepad "shelf" to go over the end of an extended keyboard since I didn't use the number pad that much anyway. Plus, the keyboard was on a pull out tray, and reaching for the mouse up on the desk was a strain. My "shelf" was made from my kids' old set of legos! It got lost in my move from one office to another. Now I have a pull out with enough room for keyboard and mouse.

OK, here's my work/snack shelf over my Apple extended keyboard attached to my DA. The one you see by the monitor is connected to my 9600.

Here is it flipped up to reveal the keyboard, though I usually leave it down and type with hands underneath.

Oh, Jack; I'm not ignoring you but hoping I bookmarked it somewhere; both pictures are from the same place but I copied them into my Flickr so I wouldn't get that darn IPB message. Well I know I bookmarked it; just not on this system.
