*That's* a cool idea. I thought about using it to scare away the NHK
fee-collector guy.

Although after my fat-fingering tonight (see my other post), I think I'm
just going to use it as a bookend for a while. Or maybe one of those things
you use to hold paper when you're transcribing/typing it into something.
The cover hinges are pretty firm, so I can adjust the angle quite nicely.
Might also be good as a board for draining tofu, since I set the angle to
allow for maximum runoff.
