How tragic... A great idea with a tragic flaw. Couldn't ever figure out how a 2-generation stand would ever top the original . Now I know. It would have been the original one without the sharp edge(s). Heck, I'd be willing to buy one and sign a release that I'm on my own if I ever cut myself. That's how good they are! @judy

I got the original one at the UC Santa Barbara book store. But i couldn't find one for sale after that. Their website said they were not available and to check back for their new model. I emailed them but never got a reply, unless it went unnoticed to spam folder. Every year or so i would check back with no results. Last year, i called them on the phone and got the story of what happened. The racks were manufactured in China, but the manufacturers were making them so that the edges were dangerously sharp and the Dexia company tried to get the manufacturers to eliminate this problem but they weren't successful. they considered doing it themselves, filling down the sharp edges on each unit, but realized that would not be cost effective, so they had to stop making then.

Works great, and it keeps the laptop close to my eyes instead of being pushed way back. I will rue the day that I have to replace it. I just was looking for a friend of mine. Bummer.
