Ever wanted to spend an evening surfing, chatting and generally messing about - with your partner? Normally, this would need two computers. Where's the romance in that?

How about a stretch laptop, extra wide, with two qwerty keyboards side-by-side? Two mousepads? Option of either one huge screen, or two small ones?

The two users can share all the other elements of the computer - memory, disk space, internet connection etc. They can enjoy an evening using the computer *and* cuddling. Perfect for geek couples everywhere.

       cute, but I think most ppl would prefer two laptops - shared internet connection can be done via a third machine (or a router, if you have one) and a hub. cuddle and post away.

       "Perfect for geek couples everywhere" .... so not a mass market product, then ? Do you have any figures on how many geek couples there are ? My guess is "not many" ...

       I am a geek, my girlfriend is a [hot] geek, we are a geek couple, and we would love that!(though normally when we spend the evening together, we don't use a computer!)
