Perhaps there finally is a cure for repetitive stress injury, the disabling condition that afflicts many computer keyboard and mouse users.

EMA Innovation LLC is showcasing its Nethrone digital entertainment GamePlayingChair.jpgcenter, which includes not only a desktop computer but an exercise machine.

The Nethrone, which looks like a stylish cross between a doctor’s examination seat and an exercise machine, has a chrome and aluminum frame, a keyboard, mouse and joystick for gaming. It also serves as a writing platform and a support for a flat screen computer monitor.

Unlike most office chairs the adjustable reclining seat also vibrates. It will go on sale world-wide in March for $2,495 with a one year warranty.

Probably good for gaming, but from what it looks like, I would probably fall asleep in it attempting to test a midnight release!

Erm… didn’t this feature in a Woody Allan film about 20 years ago?!
