Hardware That Literally Doesn't Stink?

Posted by simoniker on from the jacksonesque dept.

gtaylor writes "You know that new computer smell? Some people (like me) get sick from it. Can Slashdot readers provide good suggestions for mice or keyboards made from ceramic, unlacquered hardwood, metal, etc, non-plastic headphones and microphones, screens like the new metal-framed cinema display from Apple, etc? (Wood is not necessarily right if it's glued or varnished.) I have a Sharp Plasmacluster air purifier that is very helpful but the fewer volatile organic chemicals released in the first place, the better. I'll also need a chair (leaning to the Herman Miller Mirra chair) and an adjustable metal/hardwood desk. High-density hard synthetics like polypropylene (a popular material at Ikea) or acrylic are also inert enough to be fine if they have no plasticizers - suggestions for a full office set-up welcome."

    What is this, news for pussies, stuff that oh! hurts a little?

    Be a man and handle the computer with your bare nose, your V8 truck and your rifle with your bare hands and your girlfriend with your bare dick. Anything else is imitation.

    Nothing is quite as funny as seeing someone buy organic food for 3x-4x the price. Too many people have become big babies these days and are afraid of even living.

    Every once in a while I open it up and remember that magical moment, my first Mac.

    I keep my first PC box too, so I can remember that magical moment, the first time I played a game less than three years old.

    (No offense mac users, I actually do want one)

    Hey, I didn't say the correlation was strong, or solidly proven - just that it was well studied. Even the paper's weak correlation was better than the grandparent poster's wild guess. One of my pet peeves is people who guess about things that they can find out for themselves in about a minute (or should already know).

    You're a complete fucking tool. Shut your mouth before I ask the GNAA to skull fuck you.

    But you'd probably like that, wouldn't you... bitch...
