I have always been instructed since almost the beginning (I think that changed around April of 2005) to have nothing under or on top of the laptops. Some of the smaller laptops will be able to fit small items in beside it, but nothing on top or under the laptops.
Side note - When you coming back to see us? If you do, send me a PM and let me know, we will talk over a cup of coffee!
