Some unknown number of Powerbook and iBook users attach an external 
keyboard to their books. I have my Powerbook on a cool pad and on top 
of two Lacie Pocketdrive boxes, raising it about eight inches off of 
the desk and placing the screen at my eye level. Having to look 
downward at the screen on a desk causes a crink in my neck. elevating 
the book made the crink and soreness go away.

I am using the Apple Pro keyboard via the USB port but any USB keyboard 
would work and the USB keyboards are a viable option.

The Apple Pro Keyboard is much nicer to type on than the Powerbook 
keyboard, in my opinion and others will disagree of course.

Adding the keyboard to the device mentioned above would make it quite 
useful.
