What does your desk look like?

These were all the rage in the UK about 20 years ago. We had one. Ikea sold millions. Then I think we all realised proper beds and mattresses are so much more comfortable.

@scottalanmiller you've seen futon mattresses with springs in them? or did were you referring to mattresses in general in the US?
I've seen one or two, they are thin and suck.

One of the things I like best about being in Europe is how often I find awesome "non-proper" beds. I hate traditional beds. They are so high and bouncy and weird. I just want something thin on the floor so that it is as firm as possible without causing bruising.

I prefer air mattresses and waterbeds. We have a Sleep Number bed and love it.
Oh, and to get back on-topic, my desk is a disaster.

He has to use a trackball as there is nowhere to run a mouse!

No, I ALWAYS use a trackball. I have preferred them since high school, lol.

You mean you don't? I haven't used a "regular" mouse in... 20 years or so, lol. (Me and Pops got 2 of the Logitec Marble Mouse PS/2 Trackballs when they first came out ($60 bucks each)...) That was like around 1995 or 98 or so... He's still got one that works hooked up to his server.

Never liked them. Use there here and there since the early 80s but just never got the feel for it. I really like how little space it takes up, but don't like the joystick-like control.

I can definitely see the joystick aspect of it... but I have used trackballs for so long that it doesn't feel like that to me any more. I can't imagine playing an FPS like WoW or BattleField with a joystick (or game pad) or even a regular mouse these days.
NB: Screenshot of mydesk coming some time this week.

This was the perfect setup for a recursive image, and yet you missed it.

Mostly I stand. Unfortunately, it is about 4 inches too low for really comfortable typing. So when I do coding and not support work, I will end up sitting after a while.
100% IKEA though. Love that place. Do not care about the concept of "heirloom" furniture.
Oops... but for those interested...
