but what if i spill my tea while working [or even drop a few crumbs

have i just selected and replaced several paragraphs of my [yeech]
word document?
is my pd patch now completely hosed [and not just hosed like they
usually are by my attempts to understand the math ...]

and what if i want to keep paper or tchotchkies on my workspace? what
if i don't have a lot of workspace other than my lap?

i really don't see this as too helpful in getting computer work done-
but maybe all i need to do is drink the kool-aid.

it might be cool for a specialized 'instrument' or two though ... [but
'space control' is difficult, as i know from playing the theremin]
