Lizzie, they have offered to get me many such things. We run up against a size constraint. I live in a four-room railroad apt. There's just no space for more monitors and the like. I haul this laptop around on a 50' Ethernet cable so I can go outside with it when it's not 10 million degrees (i.e., not these past two weeks). But I can't fit standing desk or monitor stand or anything like that anyplace. And if I did, the cats would wax wroth and restore the natural order.
