While I love the idea of a magically reconfigurable interface in principle, I've reverted to using a $20 'dumb' universal remote for exactly one reason: the moment that beautiful touchscreen dies, your $200+ magic panel is a brick. Happened to my Harmony One, and Logitech's solution was, essentially "sorry to hear." They did offer me a discount coupon to purchase another, but like they say, once bitten, twice shy. Meanwhile, old-timey buttons work fine, and if they stop working, $20 is a lot easier to swallow.

Could he mean "styrofoam?" I know LL Bean carries "ultra-lightweight" furniture that features "molded polystyrene frame" construction.

Hey Lexo, if you're in the NYC area you might save yourself a few bucks and buy mine... (While probably perfect for laptop use, I'm cramming a large-ish desktop computer on there and it just ain't working for me.)

Your mileage may vary, but... Here's one vote for the HAG Capisco. Maybe not in the periwinkle shade... however, it's been fantastic for my lower back and it works with the way I work at the desk. I'm sitting on one, right now, and I wouldn't trade it for 100 Aerons. (I used to sit on one at work.) Thing is, the Aeron's frame cuts the circulation on my legs, but the saddle-shaped seat of the Capisco doesn't. (They're available with conventional seats, too, if you choose.) This is very much a *task chair* and not something you sit back on and lounge, so if you expect you'll want to do this you might wish to look elsewhere. Hope this helps...!
