CTRL/ALT/DEL that thing.

This boggles the mind on so many levels.

First, that someone thought it up and didn't immediately say, "No, I have to stop smoking at work".
Then, that his boss said, "Yeah, that's a good idea. Let's make it."
Then, that their lawyers said, "I don't see a problem, let's sell it."
And then, that Amazon put it up on their site.

"Laptop steering wheel desk"
It's a board with slots that slip on your steering wheel and is supported about just above the middle of the wheel that you're supposed to use as a desk for your laptop.
Operative words, "Laptop desk" and "steering wheel".
You know. so you can surf the intertubes on that long commute.

The reviews make it even funnier. Most are around 4 or 5 stars.

Needs to be bigger...., November 27, 2009

I have truly enjoyed the laptop steering wheel desk but believe it needs to be bugger.
Currently I am cruising down a straight highway with the cruise control set to 90 and my steering wheel
bungie corded in place. The laptop steering wheel lets me put my laptop in place but it will barely fit my portable TV and I really had a hard time using the desk to iron my shirt and pants this morning while rocketing through the city. Otherwise I would give it a five star.
I need to close now, I see a sharp turn coming y8f7dspufaljdhhfuiljlik

This is my favorite so far

I live in the U.K, where the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. Will this product work in my car, or just those in the States? If so, does it require any extra parts or modifications??

Okay, that's funny.

1 I should buy one for my dad, I want to see my inheritance sooner rather than later.

2 That's the spirit Alice H., always look at the bright side of life.

It's perfect for that, in the likely event you have an accident, the air bag will drive it right through the body.

3 Great reviews! And I love that the description says that you are not to use it while driving. Then why not go inside to a desk? Is this supposedly for people who are living in their cars with their laptops? For the imminently funemployed?

I imagine its best use would be for looking at pr0n during gridlock traffic.

5 I'll admit that I have been known to read while driving. That's reason #43,502,783 that I love my kindle, it reads to me. Less chance of plowing into someone that way!

6 It's OLD. It's been done. Hell, it's been done by MORONS.

7 The sarcastic reviews did make me feel better about the product's existance. Especially liked the veterenarian who did small animal surgery on the road and wanted clips to put her surgical tools on the steering wheel.

8 I think I'd actually use something like this. For my grad courses I often take notes from recorded lectures using my EEE PC, and I like doing it while overlooking the local bay or taking the ferry. Kind of a niche market, I guess.

Then again, I also thought I could find a legitimate use for the pistol bayonet, so take the above for what it's worth...
