[G4] OT: Ergonomic Chairs

[Al Poulin]

I am 6'2", or rather only 6'1" now.  So I will not comment on the chair 
hunt.

But I am 70 years old.  I went through bifocals and trifocals, all the 
while working with computers (at work) and at home.  During that time, 
I resorted to using "reading glasses" set to focus at arms length for 
computer and any desk work.  But the best solution (for me, after two 
cataract lens replacements/implants) has been to use graduated focus 
(transition) lenses in my glasses.  I love them.  So, for the 
conservative approach, try the reading glasses.  The transition lenses 
took a few weeks to get used to.
