[Hidden-tech] setting up a computer to work off of two sets of monitors

[Lynne Rudié]

This may not be possible, but I'm wondering if you can get a tall  
stool so that it's possible to sit at the standing level desk. In the  
olden days when I did my work at a drawing table it was standing  
height, but I had a comfortable stool (with a back and a foot rest,  
and lots of ways it could be adjusted) I could sit at when I wanted  
to. Maybe that's not an option, but it seems like it would be easier  
to get a really adjustable chair and leave the computer and the desk  
as is.
