Well, I kinda sorta did that already as I put a Sharp calculator under
the back of the stand to tilt it forward a bit. I have to be careful
as to not let it go over center and have the screen tip over forward.
If I were just concerned about the forward tilt your idea would work
great. Actually, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks! That said (here
comes the 'but') I would like to be able to lower the monitor about 2
inches at the same time. There is also the issue of having enough
weight in the back of the tilt stand for counter-balance and having to
clamp the monitor stand to it somehow.

The top of my genuine IBM PS/2 keyboard holds all my pens and pencil
and I gave up coffee years ago although bottled water became a good
replacement. :)
Thnaks for the ideas.
