Restoring the garage bay. Any garage ideas I should do to make life easier?

I have an old laptop with an external sacrificial keyboard in the garage. I find it handy for researching stuff on FABO, looking at the FSM and sometimes to watch Youtube videos while I'm trying to do something like rebuild a 727 for the first time. The sacrificial keyboard is key because it saves me from getting grease on the old laptop and killing it prematurely.
