I built a table from Ikea that I had a laptop on ... I liked it but I could only use the computer when walking and then there wasn't enough room to run anymore. Also I only surfed the web and ripped cds when I had the computer setup. I didn't do any serious work but I could see myself getting into that. I think I would want to use the big tv for a monitor and a wireless keyboard/mouse.
I agree with the above comments about diet for weight loss. I'm trying to eat vegan for a while and I have noticed an immediate improvement in my blood sugar and how I feel. It is as if a whole body inflammation has cleared up.
