Man, I wouldn't be surprised if that wood flooring is 30+ years old. The stuff upstairs is probably 50+ years old. It's beat to hell. :laugh: Love the Aerons. It's not for everyone, but it helped my back a lot. I did the math, and it costs about as much as one chiropractor visit per year for the 12 year warranty the chair has. That chair has done a lot more good than going to the chiropractor ever did. Well worth the money for me. But like I said, it's not for everyone - seems like everyone who has one either loves it or hates it.

If you find a local store that sells it (Herman Miller's website has a dealer locator), they'll probably let you take it home for a 48 hour test drive. Only problem I ran into there was that the local store I went to didn't have the PosturFit attachment in stock. I think the difference between the PosturFit and the standard lumbar support is enough to justify the price difference, which is usually about $30. The model I got is usually marketed as the "highly adjustable" version. It comes with the tilt limiter (which is great) and the seat angle adjustment (which I honestly haven't figured out how to use. The tilt limiter is better than the tilt lock that you find on other chairs IMO. It allows you to specify the maximum recline, but it just provides the normal resistance up to that point. The resistance of the backrest rather than a locked in place backrest is what saved my back. I had tremendous back pain from my old chair, and it was because it constrained my back into a particular position. That pain went away almost immediately after I got my Aeron.
 
it's on a commercial Cable line, and 600KB images, do the math, counting in how many people are clicking on them.

I'm gonna resize them, shoulda done that before...meh.
All done. images are now much more efficient.
 
Not a bad setup legoman. Case is too big for my tastes but I love the way the chair looks! is it as comfy as it looks?
 
I'll bite.

The iBook has been replaced by an M1330, and the 32" TV replaced with a 42" one. Otherwise.. almost the same. Just have stuffed animals and toys on the shelf instead of Mentos.

theres alot going on there, expensive too, i bet

imagine its quite a challenge typing on that keyboard..
Click to expand...

the keyboard I'm playing in the picture slides in under the desk, so typing on the keyboad on the desk isn't too bad. It's not as comfortable as when I had it on the sliding shelf, but the music keyboard is so much more comfortable to play it's worth it. I can't really think of any other place for the computer keyboard. What you don't see in the picture is a 42" lcd to the right that I can use from bed, I have a computer hooked up to that and probably type more on that than my music setup PC

here's another one to show that it gets even more ridiculous

My escape...

I'll have to grab pics of my new "workstation" when I start my new position tomorrow. It's a bullpen style setup with something like 14 Planar 24" flatpanels arranged portrait style. 😱

Very nice case work! I would never sell that thing, just keep it and if you have to mod it to fit new stuff that comes out in the future.

Um dude, I'm on disability. Almost everything in my pics I got for nearly nothing, got years ago, or was given.

The laptop in the pic was traded from a friend for my much older lappy because she needed one that worked badly and had no time for a parts order. I lucked out and got a video module for $30 for it and it works fine. The same friend had bought me the LCD this christmas when it was at TD for $180 after rebate. The desk came with the apartment. The wire rack shelving was a gift from another friend two years ago when she got a black colored one. The RCA headunit I paid $100 for used in monthly payments of $20ish two years ago from an X landlord who did not want it. The printer cost me $80 shipped, and was a badly needed item. The main PC is an athlon64 x2 3800+ system I built three years ago or so when the x2 just came out... I had gotten the cash by fixing a laptop someone gave me and sold it. The microwave, fridge, and air conditioner were more very necessary expenses, each roughly $100. The chair was free to me, and so was the bed. the plastic table over the bed cost me $50 two years ago. the joypad on my desk was given to me because its an xbox controller that stopped working, it was a cut in the wire. I hooked it to a usb plug and downloaded the xbcd windows xbox controller drivers. The CRT up there has been with me for four years, and cost me ~$50 back then.

The bike I got for $0. http://recyclery.info

As you can now see, I got all this with a combination of very generous friends, and being smart and thrifty about purchases.
 
Just start looking at things like macgyver would. "How can I do this cheaper/easier/myself and save money?"

One of my X roommates actually called me Mrs MacGyver 😉
