Or you can go the tri-focal route like I did last week. Haven't got them
yet, but even with the table 6 inches lower, short little ole me was
still craning my neck. I never have had a monitor on the box, and I
just dred it when I have to go to one of the pods here on campus to test
something because I really get a kink in my neck then. The tables are
high to start with and the monitors are on the boxes. Made for
7-foot-tall folks, I guess, not us down here at 5-2 :-(
The student consultants get a good laugh when I ask for books and bring a
blanket or jacket to sit on -
Anybody out there gone with tri-focals? I jut got tired of tired eyes,
tired neck, tired everything.....
But Geoff has some good points.
Cheers,
Cathy
