Sorry to get into the discussion a bit late.

I have been using an exercise ball, or a "Sit-fit" on a regular chair=20
for years as a computer chair. (sometimes I have to use a foot rest if=20=

the ball is too big for me to rest my feet comfortably on the floor=20
depending on the table height of my computer table.)

No interest in the selling of the Sit-fit or anything like that just=20
that it has made a whale of a difference in my Chronic Pain conditions.

The one I actually have is Sissel SitFit

http://www.bodytrends.com/products/ball/sissel_sitfit.htm

On the last site they describe the use of balls as computer chairs.

I have found that for chairs the Sissel products, although a bit more=20
expensive are wonderful.

and the store at Maisonville that Theresa mentions can order these for=20=

you if they have none in stock but please watch the prices.  I found it=20=

less costly to try out the item there and order it online.

Hope this helps

Susan
