this is the switch which is triggered by the ejected CD
the box

analogue extension 3: the safety vest
Monday, October 30th, 2006
never get hit by a car again when changing a tyre or helping at the site of a car accident: the laptop has a safety vest attached to it, you can wear it as usual, but with the screen on your back showing a flashing warning triangle.
plus, the vest could also serve as a water protection for the laptop when wrapped around it
