- For all of the above except putting my feet on the desk, my console A500

- The "rest of the cpu" argument isn't really relevent for the A1200, though.
- The whole thing is about the size of a keyboard. The cables might get in
- the way, though. But I personally don't mind having the keyboard on the desk.
