The keyboard/mouse are on the desk, and the CPU is underneath. The upper part of the screen is now slightly below eye level, with the lower part just at the level of the desk. This also keeps the monitor a reasonable distance away from the body. This arrangement means having to turn the head or body toward the monitor, but if space permits, a high table forward, low table behind might also work. Look forward to hearing from your mother here! ================================================================ Margaret Monty [log in to unmask] ================================================================
