1. A method for elevating at least a portion of a computer relative to a support surface, comprising: obtaining at least one removable block having at least one tacky surface;removably attaching the at least one tacky surface to the support surface or an underside of the computer by mechanical or specific adhesion, andpositioning the computer on the support surface, such that the removable block elevates the at least a portion of the computer above the support surface. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein obtaining at least one removable block further comprises obtaining a first and a second removable blocks, wherein the first and second removable blocks each has at least one tacky surface. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising configuring the tacky surfaces on the first and second removable blocks to removably attach to the tacky surface of the other block to substantially mutually cover the tacky surfaces. 4. The method of claim 2, further comprising removably attaching the first and second removable blocks to form a single object. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein forming a single object further comprises forming a sphere. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein obtaining at least one removable block further comprises obtaining a pad carrying a coherent elastomeric polymer body, the pad having the tacky. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein obtaining a pad carrying a coherent elastomeric polymer body further comprises obtaining a barrier disposed between the polymer body and the pad, being smaller than the polymer body and the pad such that a perimeter of the polymer body contacts a perimeter of the pad. 8. The method of claim 7; further comprising obtaining the pad having indicia formed thereon and the polymer body being substantially translucent such that the indicia is visible through the polymer body. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising obtaining a removable block having a first tacky surface on one side of the removable block and a second tacky surface on the opposite side of the removable block. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein positioning the computer on the laptop support surface further comprises removably attaching the first tacky surface to the support surface by mechanical or specific adhesion and the second tacky surface to the underside of the computer by mechanical or specific adhesion. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising; removing the at least one block from the support surface or the underside of the computer. 12. A method for elevating at least a portion of a computer relative to a support surface, comprising: obtaining a pair of removable blocks removably attached to each other to form a single object, each having at least one tacky surface removably attached to the tacky surface of the other block by mechanical or specific adhesion to substantially mutually cover the tacky surfaces;separating the pair of removably blocks from one another;removably attaching the at least one tacky surface of each block to the support surface or an underside of the computer by mechanical or specific adhesion, andpositioning the computer on the support surface, such that the pair of removable blocks elevate the at least a portion of the computer above the support surface. 13. The method of claim 11, further comprising; removing the pair of blocks from the support surface or the underside of the computer; andremovably attaching the at least one tacky surface of one block to the at least one tacky surface of the other block by mechanical or specific adhesion to substantially mutually cover the tacky surfaces and to form the single object. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein forming a single object further comprises forming a sphere. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein obtaining a pair of removable blocks further comprises obtaining blocks that each have a pad carrying a coherent elastomeric polymer body, the pad having the tacky. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising obtaining the pad having indicia formed between the pad and polymer body, the polymer body being substantially translucent such that the indicia is visible through the polymer body. 17. A system for elevating at least a portion of a computer relative to a support surface, comprising: a pair of removable blocks each having at least one tacky surface;the pair of blocks having at least two configurations, including: a stored configuration in which the pair of blocks are attached to each other by mechanical or specific adhesion to form a single object with the at least one tacky surface of each block removably attached to the tacky surface of the other block to substantially mutually cover the tacky surfaces; anda use configuration in which the pair of blocks are separated from one another and the at least one tacky surface of each block is removably attached to the support surface or an underside of the computer by mechanical or specific adhesion such that the pair of removable blocks elevate the at least a portion of the computer above the support surface. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the single object is a sphere. 19. The system of claim 17, wherein each block further includes a pad carrying a coherent elastomeric polymer body, the pad having the tacky surface. 20. The system of claim 19, further comprising a barrier disposed between the polymer body and the pad, being smaller than the polymer body and the pad such that a perimeter of the polymer body contacts a perimeter of the pad. 21. The system of claim 19, further comprising indicia disposed between the pad and the polymer body, and the polymer body being substantially translucent such that the indicia is visible through the polymer body. 22. A method for elevating at least a portion of a computer relative to a support surface, comprising: obtaining at least one removable block having a pad carrying a coherent elastomeric polymer body, the pad having at least one tacky surface;removably attaching the at least one tacky surface to the support surface or an underside of the computer by mechanical or specific adhesion, andpositioning the computer on the support surface, such that the removable block elevates the at least a portion of the computer above the support surface. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein obtaining at least one removable block further comprises obtaining a first and a second removable blocks, wherein the first and second removable blocks each has at least one tacky surface. 24. The method of claim 23, further comprising configuring the tacky surfaces on the first and second removable blocks to removably attach to the tacky surface of the other block to substantially mutually cover the tacky surfaces. 25. The method of claim 23, further comprising removably attaching the first and second removable blocks to form a single object. 26. The method of claim 25, wherein forming a single object further comprises forming a sphere. 27. The method of claim 22, further comprising obtaining a removable block having a first tacky surface on one side of the removable block and a second tacky surface on the opposite side of the removable block. 28. The method of claim 27, wherein positioning the computer on the support surface further comprises removably adhering the first tacky surface to the support surface and the second tacky surface to the underside of the computer. 29. A system for elevating at least a portion of a computer relative to a support surface, comprising: a pair of removable blocks each having at least one tacky surface;the pair of blocks having at least two configurations, including: a stored configuration in which the pair of blocks are attached to each other to form a single object with the at least one tacky surface of each block removably attached to the tacky surface of the other block to substantially mutually cover the tacky surfaces; anda use configuration in which the pair of blocks are separated from one another and the at least one tacky surface of each block is removably attached to the support surface or an underside of the computer such that the pair of removable blocks elevate the at least a portion of the computer above the support surface; andeach block further including a pad carrying a coherent elastomeric polymer body, the pad having the at least one tacky surface configured to cling to the support surface or the underside of the computer by mechanical or specific adhesion. 30. The system of claim 29, further comprising a barrier disposed between the polymer body and the pad, being smaller than the polymer body and the pad such that a perimeter of the polymer body contacts a perimeter of the pad. 31. The system of claim 29, further comprising indicia disposed between the pad and the polymer body, and the polymer body being substantially translucent such that the indicia is visible through the polymer body.
