if i had the cash i'd buy it ;D

or if it were like 30 bucks.

I used to duplicate that effect by piling up pillows but it was never very comfortable that way.

That's my posture when computing after hours, using pillows. $100 is too much; $30 would be a no-brainer.

I almost bought one of those 'kneeling chairs' today for 30 bucks. Never tried one before, I rather liked it.

I remember when those were very popular in the '80s.  I felt that they were comfortable for awhile, but my back would start to hurt from trying to keep myself up.

This is what I use all the time, both at work and at home.  I'm fond of them, personally, and they keep me from slouching, which was causing elbow pain during typing.

W/r/t the geek cushion:  I like it!  I agree with the general pricing sentiments, however.  My no-brainer point is probably US$50, however.

I have something that seems to be the inverse of this:  it's a special slanted table that's designed for using your laptop in bed.  Some guy was selling them back in the late 90s, it was called the Laptop Laidback.  His company is now a crusty component of the early dot-bomb fossil strata.  I don't use the table that much, but it's a special luxury, as it's exceedingly comfortable.  The most discomfort I have is trying to stay awake.

I just clicked on the link (?!?) and saw what the Lazy Geek Cushion is.
 
 
I can think of some very dirty, but fun, things the GF and I could with that.
