Ah, the slouch - my favorite no-no. Does anybody have experiences to share about those
kneeling chairs that stick your legs at 45-degree angles, supposedly the optimal
angles for your legs/back? I would try one if I heard good things about them. Example:
the Hag Balans at http://www.hag.dk.
I spent 2 years in one. I still miss it (note to self - go buy one!)
It was excellent. I found it much easier to spend long hours coding without hurting my
back (which hurts right now)

I've spent many years in one now... chiropractor had me get it when years
of slouching killed my back.
Now I prefer it... though it takes time to get used to. The forces on your
lower bones... fibula I think... are odd and take some getting used to if
you want to sit for hours at a time...
