Episode #112
My sister-in-law is a teacher of distance education students all over the province. She video conferences with students using her laptop as well as talks over the telephone system to her many students. She would like to communicate with all students with one single wireless headset instead of having to switch wired headsets depending on the communication medium coming in. Is this possible?

- Belkin Laptop@Home line
$35 - 50
The laptop used to be the choice of the mobile professional, but more and more people are buying laptops simply for use around the house. Belkin’s Laptop@Home line is designed to make using your notebook around the house safer and easier. The CushTop is simply a stand to keep your notebook up off your lap while sitting in a chair or on the couch. The PocketTop acts as a protective case that can be opened up and used in the lap or on the table. Both feature spots for tucking away power supplies and cables. Long-time laptop users may find them a bit awkward and unnecessary, but others may appreciate the distance these products put between the laptop’s heat and the lap.Shiny
- protects lap from heat
- built-in cable management
