Computer Health

While sitting in front of your computer you may be putting your health at risk. Especially if like most of us you tend to overdo most activities. If that picture is you consider the following:

To counter eye strain make the text larger in your browser (usually found by going to the View menu and looking for Text Size).

Reduce the brightness of your monitor (buttons are on the monitor screen).

Check out Froogle to find an anti-glare screen (link)

Consider buying Office Athlete software which will help you to learn a number of stretching techniques while you are sitting (link).

If you can spare the money getting an ergo-human chair (link) and a desk that allows your wrist to be level with your elbows might be worth the investment.

Remember that without good health nothing else matters.
