The Plasma 2System is an unprecedented computer peripheral designed to support the human body while interacting with the computer on a daily basis. The only healthy way to work at a computer for hours at a time is to change positions several times throughout the day. Slight posture shifts make a big difference in optimising the performance of your body and mind. The Plasma 2System is the first technology to make this possible by combining the infinitely flexible Stance angle chair with the Plasma 2monitor and keyboard positioning unit to support an innumerable number of working positions for your body.

The Plasma 2System is an unprecedented computer peripheral designed to support the human body while interacting with the computer on a daily basis. The only healthy way to work at a computer for hours at a time is to change positions several times throughout the day. Slight posture shifts make a big difference in optimising the performance of your body and mind. The Plasma 2System is the first technology to make this possible by combining the infinitely flexible Stance angle chair with the Plasma 2monitor and keyboard positioning unit to support an innumerable number of working positions for your body.

It's easy to use, just a few simple controls adjust your height, angle, and leg cushion in fluid, effortless motion. The Plasma 2System fits easily into any office environment requiring no drilling or retrofitting.

"After seven years of development The Plasma 2System represents the latest in ergonomic technology for the daily computer user," says Alan Tholkes, founder of HealthPostures.

"Right now it's a quantum leap in how the human body interacts with the computer, but soon The Plasma 2System will be as common as the fax machine, employees will come to expect it." Jack Hockenberry, co-developer of the Plasma 2System goes on to say, "If you've been using a traditional static desk and chair -- based on technology predating electricity -- to interact with the latest computer hardware, you are missing a valuable competitive edge."

You don't just feel the benefits of The Plasma 2System in your body; you can see it on the bottom line. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health; workers who switched to an ergonomic workstation, realized a 24% performance gain.

The Plasma 2System was motivated in part by legislation in the mid '90's requiring employers to provide necessary ergonomic equipment for employees.

The Plasma 2System is your answer to this requirement, the System's Stance angle chair is the only chair endorsed by the International Academy of Chiropractic Occupational Health Consultants and HealthPostures is an authorized government provider of ergonomically designed computer peripherals. The Plasma 2System was developed by industrial design legend Jack Hockenberry, HealthPostures CEO Alan Tholkes and Design Engineer DuWayne Dandurand.

Arrgh! What happens when you want to move your legs around.

Do people really think that would be comfortable for the 8-12 hour days a programmer spends -- if he's not working hard?

Brought to you by people who don't have a clue....
