  Sounds like someone lives in San Diego. Try sitting on your hood in 20 F temps and eating food that is starting to reach equilibrium temperature. Or play around on a laptop with pixels frozen by the low temps.

  Even being a reasonably thin person, I have to move my seat all the way back and tilt it to nearly 120 degrees (at the hinge) to comfortably type on my iBook G4 and it's small. Is the "assumed" user in the product shot, sitting in the back seat? ;)
  
  Imagine, reaching around your seat to type... worse yet, going all "ghetto" and removing the back to the seat. Ugh. I'd rather just install my MacMini (it fits in the DIN after all) and use a small touch screen (and or wireless mouse and keyboard).

  A sign of the times I guess. I don't understand why people want to spend some much time cooped up in their cars? Even if you are just surfing the web, get out of the car if you can't find a chair or a bench, sit on the hood or something.
  
  This contraption- attached to a steering wheel with a laptop and cell phone on top- is probably the most pitiful sight I have ever seen. I don't even see how the average overweight person is going to fit between that tray and the seat. Sad, sad, sad.
