Slashdot Mirror
The Ultimate Computer Chair?
An anonymous reader writes "Check out www.mypce.com. They address the idea
of the computer workspaces by treating the it as an overall environment
instead of the desk and monitor we're all used to. Hopefully, the industry will
start moving in this direction and address more of the physical issues of computing.
No idea on pricing, but very cool nonetheless."
Since the site is already /.'d, i'll just dream a little:
Laz-e-boy recliner installed with:
1. monitor swing-arm
2. keyboard split across arm rests
3. speaker surrounding head, woofer under seat
4. vertical-load cd tray in left armrest
5. mouse pad on right armrest
6. Linux inside ...sweeeet....

OK, seriously, how many of the Slashdot crowd would actually buy this? I mean we're the kind of people they must be aiming for, but I can't see it sitting in the corner of my room. It'd give me nightmares. It looks like a cross between a psychotic gaenacologists favourite torture implement and one of the Machines from the Matrix. Either way, not something I'd want in my house.
If you want a conversational piece, buy a bonsai kitten or something . . .

I used to lust after those, until they gave me one. The mesh thing is cool, I could ride my bike in and I'd try up pretty quick. But you can't cross your legs in those things, you have to sit "properly." I like to be able to shift around how I'm sitting every 15 mins or so, there are only so many ways you can do this if sitting yoda like hurts your knees... I knew their days were numbered when they stopped stacking up on nurti-grain bars and juice, which in the long run made me happier than the chair.
