I'm looking for a monitor stand for my A500. There was a company called Phoenix which had advertised a nice looking product, but I can't seem to locate the magazine advert. Anyone have a pointer to Phoenix (or anyone else making A500 monitor stands for that matter)? Advance thanks, Rick Spanbauer SUNY/Stony Brook

I got 4 normal building bricks and two planks. Putting down two bricks on the table, then one plank on the top ot the bricks, then the other two bricks and then the last plank. This gives you two shelves on your desk. The advanteges of this setup are the following. 1) You get a monitor stand, with the monitor at the correct (for me) height. 2) You can push the 500 under the shelves to get it out of the way, and the desk can be used as a normal desk. 3) The short cable to my second drive is just long enogh to allow the drive to be put on the bottom shelf, facing towards me. 4) There was a good spot for me to place the modem and my phone just next to the monitor on the top shelf. 5) There is room next to the monitor and next to the drive where you one can put all these extra disks and manuals and tea mugs that would otherwise block the way of my mouse. So I got a very compact (2.5*3.5') workspace where every thing just fit perfectly. In fact I have not had any need to change it and have been using it for 9 months now. --Kasper Kasper Osterbye ||| /// ///| Internet: kasper@csli.stanford.edu ||| /// ///|| UUCP: {backbones..}!csli.stanford.edu!kasper |||<<< ///||| AT&T: (415) 323 9604 ||| \\\ ///=||| USMAIL: 2420 Tasso st. #3, Palo Alto CA 94301 ||| \\X// |||MIGA
