I'm really glad for you, Neal! I don't know anything about the Aeron chairs
except that I've secretly lusted for one for a long time, ever since reading
so many of the posts about them here. Being very familiar with hand
numbness myself, I'm really happy for you!

Anne,

I found this one on Craigslist and bought it for $400. It sells for $879 new. The man I bought it from used it for five years, but it looks new. I saw one on Craigslist a few days ago for $165. I don't know exactly what it was, as it was already sold when I called.

PS The uncomfortable feelings are now gone from my hand. The back of the hand feels like it has just had a hard scrubbing. The skin there and on the fingertips is very, very sensitive, but not now uncomfortable.

Neal
