The CHAIR: The final frontier. The ultimate audio "tweak"?

Aeron chairs was the most over purchased chair during the .com boom. After the bust many bankrupt companies sold off barely used and even brand new chairs in droves.

Edwood enjoys an Aeron chair as well. Long sessions on the computer makes the Aeron chair a welcome addition to the workstation.
He says something about the Aeron chair curing sweaty ass syndrome.

Pauly,

It was more of an open invitation, so any can bring the chair down to me.

I even got the chair picked out now.

Oh, and I would need a furguneta, what they call a mini-van here, to transport the chair back to the apartment, and there's lines of them at the airport.

I'm still waiting for Doogie to send me that cheap Continental ticket he promised and the money for his chair. Guess the checks from all them expert headphone articles must have been delayed in the mails. I figure I'll recognize him at the airport with that big Water Blaster with the crosses on it that he's always got.

Old Pa,

Yeah, I got a Super Soaker loaded with holy water sitting around at all times.

I run around yelling, "I baptize you in the name of..." , then I soak 'em down with the water cannon I got. It's really cool!

Oh, the tickets weren't promised, just that I would send the chair to anyone wantning to come down. Tickets provided by the kind person with a desire to see South America.

Then try out the Eames. The Aeron was made for positioning, the Eames for comfort.

I sit on a $20 folding wooden chair from Bed Bath & Beyond. I even got a $10 chair pad for it about a month ago. After that upgrade, I now know comfort.

This chair takes up about 3" when folded, and is a key "feature" when you're roughing it in a studio apartment.

The higher up in the line I went, the less value I perceived, though.

Anyway, I passed and went for a more traditional solution with the Rio, on which I got a great deal.

I live in bay area too, where is this "Relax the Back"?

Yup, which is where I bought several more Aerons in addition to the one I already have.
