Hey Kevin,

6'4" double-Virgo here. I use a Titanium as my sole computer now. The 
extra, extended keyboard, and a Kensington TurboMouse pro, are a 
*must have*, for me.

Comfort is a tough one. I have an external monitor also, so can't 
comment on the 'looking down' business, much, but I am always 
glancing at the Ti's LCD [slightly to my, and the main screen's, 
left. No problems at all.

I know a lot of the other people use stands to elevate theirs. Mine 
is sort of 'propped-up' on a defective docking station. And with the 
screen angled 'back' it presents itself in a comfortable manner.
