The issue I'm having is that I am hunched over, and cannot figure out a way 
not to be hunched over with the existing desk/chair, so I need to look into 
some sort of angled table (like a drafting table) or a sturdier PCB vise.  I 
just made another post on that a couple minutes ago.  I have no health 
insurance currently so I am avoiding chiropractors etc, but I know what they 
will say -- to fix my environment.  And I'm pretty sure they won't have the 
final answer on that.

Interesting exercise.  I'll try it out to see if it makes a difference.

Cheers,
-Neil.
