* <<F2Q.0839>> Ergonomics

I have *never* had a desk/chair setup, in all my 35 years, that I
have sat properly at. This is because, I think, that I have never had
a chair or desk (certainly not both at the same time) that were
designed for a person of my physical configuration.

The closest I've ever been to ergonomic contentment is when I
rigged-up a stand for my Atari computer from a tube-steel guitar
stand, and placed the monitor atop a table at just the right
height/incline.  This was extremely comfortable for typing, but it
was very wobbly and the legs of the guitar stand got into my
foot-space, which was irritating.

I am currently sitting in a very expensive Herman Miller chair
(Julie's, on indefinite loan), which is very comfortable, but
somewhat large.  I am sitting in this very expensive chair with my
computer atop a 1950s sewing table (with the sewing machine removed),
which, unfortunately, has both too-high a surface for comfortable
typing posture, and too little leg-room to pull this chair into.
