When we remodeled the kitchen the last time, we put an overhang on the
peninsula. I did not think we would wnat to sit at this counter. We bought
some barstools, and that is where I am now. I do my work from the computer
here and also have it handy for recipes and rec.food. The lap top is put
away when we eat at the counter or have guests and are sitting there
visiting. I have a full size keyboard for when I have a large amount of
data entry or documents to write. It and the laptop slip into a small
cabinet when not in use, but that is rare.

We will be moving soon, and will have pretty much the same set up.
