I'd like to see some plans for one of those "ergonomic" desks that have the
CRT at a low angle or even with the screen horizontal. I use one that I made
out of 2X construction lumber, but it's not adjustable and very bulky and
clumsy. Having the screen pitched back and down is much more comfortable
than in the conventional position, for me, anyway. You rarely see them in
stores and there are pictures on line but nothing with dimensions for the
tubing arrangement that makes a kind of sling for cradling the monitor, which
is
what I'm interested in seeing, especially if it's adjustable.

Not bad. But I see the future as have fewer and fewer CRTs as LCD
monitors decrease in price and dominate the market. I'm currently
using a gate-leg table with one leaf down as my computer table. A
little stretcher "shelf" underneath holds a modem, surge protector,
8-port switch, and a cake case of CDs.
