Hey Kevin (and others),
I've had my Ball Chair
(http://www.gaiam.com/retail/product.asp?product%5Fid=95-1004) for
about three weeks now and I'm pretty well adjusted. There are those
times when I wish I _could_ slouch and be a bum, but generally it's
working out OK.
The greatest problem I've had was after I twisted my ankle. You can't
sit very comfortably on a ball chair when your foot is raised! But, I
made the best of it.
I've overcome the general discomfort, dealt with my peers' remarks,
laughed at myself (a lot), and compensated for a lack fo arm rests by
moving my keyboard further back on the desk (I can't use a tray with
the ball chair, I've discovered).
I wonder if anyone has used a ball chair for more than a couple months
and can say their experience was positive?
Thanks.
Arroxane, relatively young and somewhat invulnerable

You are now up-to-date on the continuing saga. There's
a way to go, but I consider the whole venture to be
a success. Work is more pleasant and my livelihood is
no longer at risk due to work-posture related injury.
So far. I take nothing for granted, now. Aging sucks,
but the alternative is worse.
YMMV. Void where prohibited. Prohibited where void.
You *did* delete or skip this if you weren't intersted
(as in "young and invulnerable"), didn't you? :-)
