| WHAT IS BED
SURFING? - "Bed Surfing" is the practice of surfing the internet with your
laptop computer while you lie in bed. Some people refer
to it as "Crawling into bed with your laptop". A Rolee
Polee handheld trackball is ideal for bed surfing in
that it allows you a wider range of positions for your
hands and arms. It allows you to assume a more relaxed
position. For example, with the Rolee Polee you can
place the laptop above the covers while your hands and
arms remain under the covers. The only time you need to
bring your hands out of the covers is to access the
laptop keyboard.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR BED SURFING -
The first item you will need is, of course, a
bed.
Next, you will need a
laptop computer. The good news
is that these days you can easily find a brand new
laptop for under 500 bucks. I'm referring to a new line
of laptops called "mini notebooks"
that typically cost less than $500. In addition to the laptop, I would highly
recommend a handheld trackball like the
Rolee Polee to provide more
comfort and flexibility. The Rolee Polee is like the
"icing on the cake" in that it extends the great
flexibility of a laptop computer. Lastly, I also
recommend a laptop cooler
or some type of protection between your laptop and the
bed covers. Without protection, the laptop could
possibly overheat.
UNPROTECTED BED
SURFING: - The
downside to bed surfing
is that laptops are not compatible with bedding
materials like soft, thick, insulating comforters or
blankets. Without protection the laptop will sink into
the blankets, which will block ventilation and could cause the
laptop to heat up or even overheat in many cases. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you
use some type of
laptop cooler or even a
plastic or wooden tray between your laptop and the bed
covers. The
QuadCooler
is ideal for Bed Surfing because it is light weight,
provides balanced cooling with its 4 fans, and it is
powered by the laptop which means you won't have to
search for a
power outlet prior to bed surfing. The
moral of the story is to
always use protection
before crawling into bed with your laptop.

YOU CAN'T "BED SURF"
WITH A MOUSE: - The computer mouse was invented over
40 years ago and "Mouse
Technology" has certainly evolved over the years. You can find fancy, high resolution, laser
guided mice, but regardless of the fancy technology
you still have to drag the mouse
on a smooth flat surface (desk top, table top, etc) and
most mice still require a mouse pad. Therefore it makes
it very impractical to Bed Surf with a standard mouse.
The Rolee Polee, on the other hand, is a handheld device
that does not require a flat surface of any kind and is
therefore ideal for surfing the web in your bed.

SOPHISTICATED BED
SURFING:
I just found out they make a special
Laptop Bed Desk to
enhance your bed surfing experience. It looks like they
took the old proven concept of a "Breakfast
In Bed" tray and fine tuned it to serve as a
laptop tray. Now you can have breakfast with your
laptop.
