It happens, but not as much as you would think. When your in a cafe, you see people on laptops left and right, majority of them are MacBooks, but still. I am usually only out in the Daytime, on populated streets and stuff, so its fine.

Sometimes scientists make things alot harder than they need to. All they've gotta do is put a big spring on the ground where they think it's gonna land, or send a mission to the moon to erect a sign that says "Welcome to Earth".

I like both, my home desk has a Keyboard tray, and the mouse on the top surface, which I love, but at LAN's I use them on the same level, which is just as nice.
