Seeing as how if I ever perform live (not sure yet if I even want that to happen) A laptop or two will probably feature heavily this does bear thinking about. My spur of the moment Idea is to split the laptop into two parts and wear it. Recently a friend of mine gave me a whole lot of broken laptops (and a few that live) which I have been dismantling as art supplies, and I have found that it shouldn't be too hard to extend the cables so that the keyboard hung down off a belt and the monitor was mounted on some sort of harness off the torso, I could then move fairly freely (cables could be an issue). And as a bonus it would look cyberpunk as all get out... A thought.
