The link below is a great example of how to increase productivity, cutting cost and making your back a lot more comfortable. I'm talking about getting a laptop with Ubuntu/Linux on it, setting up an NFS server, mounting your data from the server and then sitting back on your couch with your legs propped up and enjoying life.
At home, my little chair has been tortured by my increased physical laziness in that I tend to lay back on it as if it were a recliner. Rather than await the day when the back snaps off and stabbing my spine with remnants of a jagged plastic stump, I decided to move into a pro-active mode through achieving independence of my computer desk and utilizing my recently neglected laptop.
From that, I just configured my desktop and laptop with NFS, mounting my home directory. My LAN lines giving me about 100mbs, I can fluidly utilize my desktop's generous hard drive space while employing my laptop from the comfort of my couch as my legs are indolently propped up against my one seater.
To me this is the future of home computing. Hopefully, more offices start to realize this and implement more relaxing settings for their employees.
