What is claimed is: 1. A laptop computer support platform having a relatively flat top surface vertically spaced from a bottom surface, with said laptop computer support platform comprising: a base including relatively rigid and upwardly standing wall structure; a generally horizontal upper layer extending across and supported by the relatively rigid wall structure of said base, said upper layer being formed from a first material and defines the relatively flat top surface of said laptop computer support platform; a rigid, generally horizontal stiffener layer accommodated within said base in underlying supporting relation relative to said upper layer, with said stiffener layer being formed from a second material different from said first material and which is supported by the relatively rigid wall structure of said base; and a generally horizontal and relatively thin thermo-insulating layer accommodated within and supported by said base in layered relation relative to said upper layer and said stiffener layer, with said thermo-insulating layer being formed from a fibrous insulation material for inhibiting conductive heat transference between the top surface and bottom surface of said platform from an operating computer adapted to be supported on the top surface of said support platform. 2. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 1, wherein said support platform measures between about 0.937 inches and about 1.312 inches between the top and bottom surfaces thereof. 3. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 1, wherein about 80% to about 95% of heat imparted to the top surface of said platform by said operating computer is inhibited from being conductively transferred to the bottom surface of said support platform. 4. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 1, further including structure projecting upwardly from an upper side of said generally horizontal upper layer defining the relatively flat top surface of said support platform. 5. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 1, wherein said support platform weighs between about 10 ounces and about 15 ounces. 6. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 1, wherein said support platform has a pair of general parallel sides along with fore-and-aft spaced front and rear edges, and wherein said support platform further includes a pair of protrusions provided along a bottom of said support platform, with said protrusions being spaced in fore-and-aft relation relative to each other as to define a channel opening to the parallel sides of said support platform for promoting air flow beneath said support platform whereby dissipating heat generated by said operating computer. 7. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 1, wherein advertising indicia is visibly provided on said upper layer defining the top surface of said laptop computer support platform. 8. A laptop computer support platform having a relatively flat top surface vertically spaced from a bottom surface, with said laptop computer support platform comprising: a base having relatively rigid and upwardly standing wall structure; a multilayered assembly including a first generally horizontal layer of translucent material supported by and extending across and beyond said relatively rigid and upwardly standing wall structure of said base, with an upper side of said first layer of material defining the relatively flat top surface of said support platform, a second generally horizontal layer formed from a material different from said translucent material of said first layer, with said second layer being supported within and by said upwardly standing wall structure of said base for providing horizontal rigidity to and across a major surface area defined by said first layer of material, and a third layer for inhibiting conductive transference of heat from the top surface to the bottom surface through said support platform, said third layer including a relatively thin synthetic fibrous insulation material supported within and by said upstanding wall structure of said base and arranged in layered relation relative to said first and second layers of said multilayered assembly; and a cover extending across the bottom surface of said support platform. 9. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 8, wherein said translucent material extending across the top surface of said support platform is formed from a colored synthetic material. 10. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 8, wherein said support platform further includes a pair of spaced and generally parallel protrusions extending beneath said multilayered assembly and across said support platform to define a channel between said protrusions, with said channel opening to opposed sides of said support platform for directing air beneath and thereby promoting dissipation of heat away from said support platform. 11. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 8, further including structure projecting upwardly from the upper side of said first layer thereby providing space between the top surface of said support platform and a portion of an underside of a computer supported thereon. 12. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 8, wherein the cover extending across the bottom surface of said support platform is fabricated from a woven material. 13. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 8, wherein said support platform measures between about 0.937 inches and about 1.312 inches between the top and bottom surfaces thereof. 14. A laptop computer support platform having a relatively flat top surface vertically spaced from a bottom surface, with said laptop computer support platform comprising: a base including relatively rigid and upwardly standing wall structure, with said rigid and upwardly standing wall structure having a stepped configuration arranged adjacent to an upper edge thereof; a generally horizontal upper layer extending across and supported by the relatively rigid and upwardly standing wall structure of said base, and wherein said upper layer is formed from a translucent material whose top surface defines the relatively flat top surface of said laptop computer support platform; a rigid, generally horizontal stiffener layer arranged in underlying supporting relation relative to said upper layer and supported by the stepped configuration formed in said base, with said stiffener layer being formed from a second material different from said first material; a generally horizontal and relatively thin thermo-insulating layer arranged in layered relation relative to said upper layer and said stiffener layer, with said thermo-insulating layer being positioned relative to said stiffener layer and supported by the stepped configuration formed in the rigid and upwardly standing wall structure of said base, with said thermo-insulating layer being formed from a fibrous insulation material for inhibiting conductive heat transfer between the top surface and bottom surface of said platform; and a cover extending beneath said base and across the bottom surface of said support platform, upwardly in overlying relation relative to the upstanding wall structure of said base, and secured around outer edges of the upper layer of material. 15. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 14, wherein said base is formed from a cross-linked foam material. 16. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 14, wherein said stiffener layer is formed with non-metallic spaced upper and lower layers of material secured to an intermediary layer of corrugated material. 17. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 14, wherein said cover is fabricated from a woven material. 18. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 14, wherein said support platform further includes a pair of spaced generally parallel legs defining an open-bottom channel therebetween, with said channel opening to opposed sides of said support platform to promote dissipation of heat away from said support platform. 19. The laptop computer support platform according to claim 14, further including structure secured to and projecting upwardly from the top surface of said layer of translucent material thereby providing space between a top side of said support platform and a portion of an underside of a computer supported thereon.
