How about not sitting down in the first place? I did that for a while when working as an E/M designer. But I was younger then. I still do it once in a while, but as far as I can tell, standing is not very condusive to typing (straining the wrists and arching the back) unless you are fortunate enough, as you seem, to have a "desk" condusive to it! :) My problem is that my computer desk isn't just a 17" monitor and keyboard+mouse. It holds a 21" monitor (70 lbs), 19" monitor, scanner, keyboard, trackball, speakers, etc., and below, two full towers! None of those desks would suffice! ;) I'd have to raise the main monitor another 12", which is precarious for the weight. More than likely, the rearrangement to suit standing would require customization - and that is costly.
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
