I wasn't quite sure whether this should go in net.cog-eng or net.med,
but since this is mainly just a poll, it's here in net.misc.

Undoubtedly everyone has seen the chairs without a backrest, but with a
knee pad and a buttocks pad, widely touted as being good for the
posture.  I'd like to get a feel for how suitable it would be for
programming.

Does anyone use these chairs while hacking on the keyboard?  If so, is
it tiring to not have armrests?  Is it easy to get into and out of?  Do
you miss not being able to wheel around the office as with normal desk
chairs?  Can you sit on the thing all day?

Please respond to the net if you have firsthand experience.
