I'd suggest reading the section of this essay:

<http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/FieldGuidetoDevelopers.html>

which deals with Aeron chairs.  Ignore the rest of the article unless
you're hiring software developers, but the part about the chairs
is useful to anybody.

And when the people complained, it
displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard
it; and his anger was kindled; and the
fire of the LORD burnt among them, and
consumed them that were in the uttermost
parts of the camp. Numbers 11:1
