OuterNotes: Monitor Safety and Accessories
http://www.pc.ibm.com/ww/healthycomputing/vdt11.html Is your VDT giving you the DTs? From carpal tunnel to tunnel vision, improperly placed Visual Display Terminals can be hazardous to your health. IBMs new Healthy Computing page lists all of the perilous pitfalls of improper peripheral placement and gives you the preventative measures you need to take to ensure an invigorating ergonomic environment for your workspace. Although they don't have to draw you a picture, they do include a diagram of the perfect workstation and how your body should be positioned to reduce the stress and strain of your daily grind; the checklist of factors affecting vision and VDT use is a true eye-opener. --Max Kovins ... As Bausch & Lomb Magnifies PC Screens http://www.bauschvision.com/ We have to cite this site for sore eyes: Bausch & Lomb's $250.00 PC Magni-Viewer is an optical lens that enlarges a screen image by 175 percent, thus eliminating the need to zoom in or changing screen resolution when you're working with minuscule fonts or images. The adjustable bracket -- which easily attaches to the top of any standard PC -- lets you swing the Magni-Viewer out of the way when you're done reading the small print. --Karin Call UniRiser Gets iMacs to the Right Eye Level http://www.allstarreview.com/uniriser.html The UniRiser is a translucent plastic stand that elevates the iMac to an ergonomically optimal viewing level (for the user) and allows for increased airflow and ventilation (for the machine) while freeing up more workspace on your desktop. You also might get a rise out of the very reasonable $29.99 list price. --Karin Call Soul-lutions Offers Double Duty Copy Holder http://www.soul-utions.com/ergonomics/7ave01.htm This site is full of innovative products that increase writing comfort, but we were especially taken with their desk-mounted writing tablets that combines two key content-creation steps into a smaller footprint. Angled flat, they provide a stable platform for creating or editing documents by hand (a wide bottom lip holds even the widest binders); adjusted upward to 80 degrees, they become an excellent copy holder to speed transcription into a word processor. A wide variety of heights and widths are available within a $50.00-$60.00 price range. --Sudeep Arya OuterNotes is produced using the OuterForce Platform, which allows publishers to easily recruit and manage remote and freelance content creation and export it into their publishing platform of choice.
