- Kick back in an reclining chair, put your feet up on the desk next to the

- The console machines are aimed at the home market. If they were intended
- for the workplace market you might have a point. Although, even in the
- workplace environment, it'd be a whole lot easier to place a keyboard in
- an ergonomically correct position when it isn't rigidly attached to the
- rest of the cpu and it's cables.
