Paul,
Thank you for your kind words regarding my web site. Your right about
the EP positioning. When your in a chair, the position of the EP is
important. I have been known to sit on the armchair of my wheelchair
and "scare" the @#$% out of people but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
I'm trying to figure out how/where to mount my laptop. Any ideas? I
need to mount the laptop somewhere on the tripod so that I don't get
tangled in the wires. I have had the laptop slip off my lap and that
can be very expensive. Again, thanks for dropping by.
