FW: USA: Online book-sharing service for the blind borrows a page from Napster

[Amanda Lee]

One can just place the notebook directly under seat in front of them with
the end containing the wireless device facing them.  I actually am not
certain where the one inside my notebook is as there are no labels or arrows
or anything which one needs to line up with.   So I would think that even
though infrared is very directional, that it would work in this instance
because the distance and line of site is very close on.

Yeah, but you'd need to line up the ports, so there goes the idea of having
the notebook under the seat.
