Hello, > My lower back is DOA. Has been for about a month, and I need to look at > another option rather than sitting at this dark desktop machine.
sorry to hear about this. I earn my money by sitting in front of a PC. What i can tell you, you are not alone ;) > I can get the 1400 online, except it stops at getting online during the > last step, where it lets you know when you are on. It just quites and > gives me an error message and the modem doesn't finish getting on. > The 1400 has 64 megs of memory and doubled using ram doubler. > Any ideas. Sitting on this chair, at this computer, is killing my back. You should post the error. What you descrivbe can have many causes. >From uncomplete installation or damaged hardware to wrong/not working ISP acount. Some additional hints. If you look straight forward your view should point to a little bit below the center of screen. If not , put something below the screen. Avoid it to stare down to the monitor. Such kills your neck and later the rest of yur back. Get a better chair. After you have set up optimal ergonomic tablehight and position of monitor, the chair is more neccessary as you probably want to belief. My back was killing me for years. I tried out a lot. Medics, massage, gymnastics and what else... Finally i found the "japanese" way of computing ;) Wich means for me: no chair at all. http://www.ryzom.de.eu.org/pics/DSCF1050.JPG I found this out while trying Shiatsu (i also have a grade in Shiatsu). Sitting in seiza http://www.mkzc.org/seiza.jpg is the most natural way to sit. Beginners might use the small chair. Advanced ones dont need the small chair. This way of sitting needs a little more discipline to sit. After a while your body gets used to it and you will start to sit more consciously. Give it a try. Your back will be thankful. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentner www.serv.de.eu.org | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
