Well, considering that I've ALWAYS been a natural fidgeter, I'm not at risk. =]
Basically I have no cushion down there. I have to shift position every ten minutes or my legs go to sleep.

Don't have to worry about this anymore. My job has been outsourced to Inda and now I'm working minimum wage selling and telemarketing.

I hate to burst everyone's PC bubble, but--in the days of the 60's, I used to sit for hours on end at a typewriter. I guess people didn't have leg problems and blood clots in those days; has to be computers doing it.

I have always wondered about this, I try to get up and walk around for several minutes, ever hour or two. I am not surprised by the results of this study.

I solve the problem by keeping my heels firmly planted on the desk. I tell the boss it's for health reasons but it's really so that the student aides can pop peeled grapes into my mouth.
