I know what to get my friend for her birthday now - That cat tent is brilliant. No wonder shall her pussy [oo-er Mrs Slocum etc] have to make do with cardboard boxes for cover when it tries to ambush me as I walk past.
The problems of using a laptop in a sunny situation cannot be over-emphasised. I believe The Reg has, in its archives, an appropriate illustration to demonstrate a laptop being used without the appropriate protective measures.
My Toshiba Portégé R500 has a transfelctive display, whereby the backlight can be switched off and the suns rays reflected to see the screen outdoors - works very well at this time of year and no need to bring a ridiculous tent!
So this is why the Eee girl has those weird tan lines on her arms - half of them were in a tent. Presumably someone stole it before the pic was taken though.

No solar cells?
That's MY idea and I'm patenting it. IP FTW!

Thats the funnies side by side comparison shot I've seen in ages.
Professional looking (albeit unusual) Laptop bag shade AGAINST pink cat tent with paw prints with obligatory moggys head poking out!
Utter genius!
A prize to the first person to photoshop the laptop in the moggy tent, and the cat in the laptop bag!
