Title: Computer how and where?
Post by: Parts on January 11, 2010, 04:27:10 PM
Just like it says.  You know sit at a desk ect. I sit in a recliner with my laptop on a piece of plywood in my lap with blankets and lots of pillows and usually a cat.  Doesn't sound like a manly way of doing thing but I like my comfort :P

At the dining table, on a dining chair, legs on another chair. Some lighted candles on the table, and tulips, for the feminine touch :p.

I sit at a large desk in my bedroom, on a large car-seat-style swivel chair (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6170996.htm), surrounded by cables, equipment, tools and abandoned, half-finished or ongoing projects, experiments and endeavours.  I have a basket for my dog beside me, resting partially on the windowsill and partially on my desktop, and a ramp behind my desk that she uses to get up and down from the windowsill.

Big oversized typing desk from the 40's, big oversized executive style office chair I curbed in front of local state reps house  :laugh:, normally the cat is either in front of the keyboard or trying to take over the chair.

Or on the sofa with the laptop on the coffee table (found one of those neat ones that swings up to become a table at a yard sale).

In descending order of comfort:

1. Desktop computer, beat-up old secondhand computer desk, one of those cheap Officeworks student swivel-chairs. Cat sitting on keyboard optional.
2. Lappy at the dining-room table. Cat: "Curses, foiled again!" :grrr:
3. Lappy on loungeroom chair arm. Me on chair, cat on lap, cramp in neck.
4. Lappy in bed, me squirming around but still getting godawful cramps in legs, cat taking up all remaining space on bed.

Laptop computer which I use anywhere I want, including a computer desk with a very nice rolling chair, on my lap while I sit on one of the sofas, the kitchen table, and the night table beside my bed.

I don't have a desktop computer any more. I have a netbook which I either use in the loungeroom or the bedroom.

Yep, the same. Either on my big coffee table in the loungeroom or in bed.

Geez, that netbook didn't last very long. Now I have a bigger laptop and put it on a portable cushioned-table-thing (which has turned out to be one of the best presents I have ever gotten) which I take wherever I will be using my computer.

I usually use my laptop whilst sitting at an old dinner table. On the top floor of this house and on a self-made bench-like seat. Don't move the laptop about very often, I could add.

There's a slow desktop in another room, one floor lower, but I hardly use the thing any more.

Just be sure not to block the vents.  You do not want your computer to have a hot time in the old town tonight.

^I use my laptop with the left edge hanging over the edge of the portable table so it gets air into its vents. Also gives me more room that way so I can use a mouse.

Putting in a seperate desk in room for older computers, ie. for my planned Amiga 1200 and Commodore 64.

That's fairly geeky.

That HP laptop I had didn't last very long either. Now I have my mum's old Toshiba which I primarily use in my bedroom. It's not exactly comfortable - I get a sore tailbone sitting on my bed after a while.

Not sure if this counts but I have a Kindle Fire that I use to access the internet. Most of the time in my bedroom or the lounge room.
