I am interested in putting a terminal at my desk at home.  However,
I don't have any desk top space that I would like to give up for it.
My desk is part of a shelving unit, and hasn't got alot of surface area.
What it does have, however, are sturdy supports and shelves above the
desk.  What I would like to do would be to suspend the display portion
of the terminal over one corner of the desk, and have a detached keyboard
in some handy location so I can grab it and set it on the desktop when I
want to use it (more likely in my lap).  This seems like it would have
two great advantages: 1) it would take no desktop space when not in
use (the area that the display would go in is essentially "wasted space"
now), 2) the display would be at a comfortable viewing height (it seems
-- I haven't had a chance to try it).

I need two things.  One is a recommendation for terminals that would lend
themselves to this sort of structure.  Second is any good ideas on
securing the display to a 1" square steel post or hanging it from a
steel (woodgrained) shelf.  Any opinions, suggestions, observations,
or experiences with anything applicable will be appreciated.

Please reply by mail, and I will post a summary if response and information
warrant.
