Abstract

A computer system for use on either a horizontal surface or a vertical wall. The system includes a computer having a base. The system further includes a viewing device for displaying information from the computer. The device is rotatably mounted to the computer to enable rotation of the computer and the device relative to each other. The system further includes a keyboard having keys for inputting commands to the computer. The keyboard is rotatably mounted to the computer to enable rotation of the keyboard relative to the computer. Upon placement of the base on the desk top or vertical wall, the device is rotatable to a substantially vertical position suitable for viewing the device. Further, when the base is positioned on the horizontal surface, the keyboard may be rotated to a substantially horizontal orientation. In addition, when the base is positioned on the vertical wall, the keyboard may be rotated to a substantially vertical orientation suitable for accessing the keyboard.
