Hi Dan, 

Have you taken a look at the 'Zoom' feature located in your System
Preferences under 'Universal Access' ?  Sometimes I will borrow my
wife's wireless keyboard and sit on the couch with my 12" ibook on the
coffee table in order to type.  I use the Zoom feature to make what
I'm typing visible from the couch and I find it works really well. 
You might try it for those times when you're just doing one thing (ie
typing).  I find actually using the computer on Zoom for surfing the
net etc. to be a bit annoying, but if you're not moving the mouse
around too much it's great.
