I see. Thanks. Do you know of a good way to raise the height of a chair? I tried to figure out the underside of mine, but...

The internet cord is stretched across the entire room already and can't be pulled much farther than it already is, so I don't know if I could move the computer (which is a netbook, but there's no wifi, and it's hooked up to a monitor because it has a pathetic screen anyway-- so the keyboard is of necessity stuck with the rest of it up there).

And mostly, I just can't change anything around. No, seriously, anything.

Any suggestions for minimizing the risk of RSI, at least?

Put a phonebook on your chair, with a cushion on top if you think that's more comfortable? It's good enough to experiment. You may want to spend some actual money eventually.

And buy a new LAN-cable, if the old one is too short.

Ooh, great idea, thanks!
