that is attached to me card and clip the other end to the back of the
chair or to the cup if necessary. It kind of puts a barrier that is
quite easy to see (it helps if you have a bright colored cord)
Just occurred to me recently: it would not usually be too difficult to scoot over and sit on the other person's chair, at least in part, while continuing to play my own machine with a reach.
