The machines in W20 are configured in a manner which
contradicts conventional guidelines about ergonomics: the
top of the monitor is supposed to be at eye level.
Currently, the center of the screen is at eye level, so one
ends up staring up at the monitor.
It might be a good thing for the Athena staff to consult with
the occupational health people at the medical center, if they
have not already.
