I'm going to guess and say "both". the stuff regularly on my passenger
seat (cell phone, palm pilot, a couple of files, cigars and related
"equipment") rarely stay on the seat and off the floor for an entire
trip. I can't tell you how many times my cd player has ended up
getting squished under a pedal (which is why I don't use it in the car
anymore).
As for laptops, I paid close to $4000 for my Toshiba 5100 (used) in
1991, and about $2700 for my Gateway Colorbook in 1994. (both came
with very nice leather cases, though ;^)) I've gone the desktop/zip
disk/palm pilot route since then.
