[Ti] Griffin iCurve report

[Bill Reburn]

Thanks for that report Jim,

I just picked up an Apple Pro keyborad to use with my Ti and the iCurve is
the perfect companion. I have a 17"ASDCRT - so this will align the top of
the Ti LCD screen almost perfectly with the top of the Studio Display
screen. Obviously they did this by design for the new Apple LCD's - but was
glad that it will fit perfectly with a CRT as well.

I can't wait to get it (ordered last week) - it will free up considerable
desk space, give it a kick in the ass for cooling (quite literally) and
improve productivity and colour/image quality for me by leaps and bounds. I
am 6'2" so sitting at my desk at a comfortable height means I have to crank
the screen pretty far back.. I love that head bobbing thing I do to see if I
am getting the right viewing angle out of my screen..

I have not seen one in in real life yet - how does the book 'stick' to the
stand? I am thinking the part of the stand that contacts the Ti is 'grippy'
rubber? Or is it just the weight alone holding it so well?
