Good point. Great point, actually. Seeing as what my company is doing to me now (I sit less than 30 ft away from two satellite transmitters [the trees surrounding said transmitters are all dead]. I sit directly in front of 3 21" monitors. Behind me are another 2. Would you like your sysadmin crispy or extra crispy? Personally, I think its all a ploy. Im sure my company will sell these, and "give them to employees" as a "gift", while its actually part of their great plan! If we grow two heads and another pair of hands, the company gets twice as much work (or would it be 4 times?) out of each of us.

...I can just see the day when I walk by Starbucks and my pants will analyse the last time I urinated and determines what size of latte would be perfect for me.

Hopefully it's no worse than that. Imagine going to the grocery store and having your pants go wild near the adult diapers because they are sick of getting leaked on.
