Working at and on PCs is such a cerebral process that we sometimes forget about the health and well being of the rest of our body - in particular, our butt.

Recently, after a particularly severe case of "butt ache", I decided to spoil myself (and my butt) by purchasing a new PC chair.

At the store, it came down to two contenders. The first candidate was a superbly, ergonomic, typist's chair with more padding and back support. The second was an executive's chair upholstered in real Italian leather.

They both cost $110 - so which one should I choose?

Well, being a fit guy, who likes to work out and look after his health, there was only one choice - the executive's chair!

Yes boys, you need to get yourself one of these chairs! High back, heavily padded seat, rotates, goes up and down, and tilts so you can put your feet on the desk when making tough decisions. All accompanied by the lovely smell of leather.

I call it my "Make it so!" chair. I call it that because it reminds me of Picard's chair in Star Trek. Not in design, but just the general ambience it exudes of "lording it" over lesser mortals.

Yes sirree, a man can feel mightely important sitting in a chair like that.

So the only question remaining to ask any lesser ranks who might read this is "Where do you park your butt?".

Make it so, number one!
