Novel Prompter Application - Update from TeleprompterMirrors

My earlier post mentioned an inexpensive setup for people who basically laptop-prompt, like maybe a simple video blog.

Here is a response I received from Veronica at Teleprompter Mirrors which speaks further to the issue:

Hello Ian,

Yes our product works great with Macs. We actually have a software specifically for a Mac as well. If the computer does not open all the way, you just have to find a way to elevate the quickprompt itself above the keyboard portion as to not get the keyboard in the film.

There is a little DIY contraption you can build or using some books would suffice. You can find the DIY at this page:

Has anyone tried this?  Send your photos and your story!

I can see someone making some serious change off of a really nice stained wood setup.  If I were video blogging daily I would seriously consider it, or maybe like a nice Benjamin Moore color to warm it up even more.
