There's comfy, then there's Aeron. You owe it to your butt to buy one...

Thanks SKC, i don't have much padding on my butt :eek: so maybe its a great idea.
 
Very nice :xyxthumbs

Now go get yourself a proper chair. I am sure there are cheaper replicas in China...

I never understood the obsession with that chair, it's so damn ugly! The arm rests look like flotation devices. They show it with chrome but I guarantee you 95% of jobs they specify for are taking it sans chrome in order to get 5 Star Green certification, in which case you end up wih this big ugly black chair. And the price is ridiculous for what is basically a plastic chair that costs about $100 to build.
 
Good thing he doesn't like cords Cap!:eek:

He was quite fond of them when he was a pup, lost a couple of hdmi cables! He's given up on eating cords, poly pipe and furniture now thankfullly...although for some reason plastic clothes pegs are still on the menu :eek:

It's a status symbol. It's like the blackberry in early 90s. I use my Aeron chair to impress others in my office (like my pet cockatiels).

I've got one of those multi-use chairs.... mine doubles as a labrador chew toy :D

How many machines have you got running?

Ha. have a look at what I sit on....

I suppose that's a great chair should you ever get the urge to smash it against something...

Xactly......

Although its a good trading indicator. If I can feel how uncomfortable it is I'm clearly not concentrating enough.

Maybe I should start another thread about trading while sitting on different chairs. You know how I feel, give it a score out of 10 and see how the trades go. :cool:

There's 4 in the office.

One set up for day trading index futures.
Another for my Amibroker development work and trading EOD systems.
Another running Linux (this one) for everyday stuff (email, web browsing etc.)
Another Linux lappy running xbmc I use as a media server.

There's a couple of routers as well that keep personal/media stuff on a separate LAN to the trading LAN. Everything is backed up with disk images and file replication on 5 external hard drives.

Not sure how the chair felt but my spew meter hit 10 when the Kospi took a dive about half an hour after the open this morning....:vomit:
