[Noisebridge-discuss] Hacker Table

[Shannon Lee]

Yeah, it seems like screwing a bar-style outlet down the center of the
table would work better.

The reason we didn't do this originally, if I remember right, was that
people were afraid of drinks & crumbs being spilled into the outlets?

I also like the idea of a low shelf being run length-wise over the center
of each table, maybe a foot off the surface, with a power bar screwed to
the underside of that, so you could set up scopes  or monitors on the shelf
and have a full work surface?
