Many moons ago when I flew from Detroit to Cleveland regularly, I observed a fresh-faced young go-getter working diligently on his laptop on an early morning flight only to suddenly go into shock when the seat in front of him reclined without warning. When he recovered, he discovered he now had a 2-piece laptop. The lid/screen had snapped clean off.

That happened when there was easily twice the space between seats. That was also back when the airlines managed to operate profitably, often leaving the middle seat empty to better accommodate winter coats and newspapers and work papers of the business flyer.
