These are generally ergonomically awful and should only be used is some specialized applications. We have them in some rooms for instructor machines so that a) the instructors can maintain eye contact when not actually working with the system and b) instructors who don't want to use the systems don't have a monitor looming in front of them. I can't imagine doing any significant work on any of these. I believe West Point build a lab like that a couple of years ago and ended up tearing it out in less than a year. Don't hold me to that, however. ------ Paul Chapin Curricular Computing Specialist Amherst College 413 542-2144
