Computer Furniture Sucks

Though I agree with the authors feelings that the designs he shows are crap, he is missing out on what I believe are two trends.

Firstly, he states himself that he uses a 'desk' a flat surface with lots of space, like most desks. Yet he is looking for a 'computer desk'. Why does such a thing exist? What is missing from the original desk that makes him want to have a 'computer desk' that is more like is regular desk?

Secondly, I think there is a growing trend toward stand-up desks, and that is likely where some more innovations may appear, because there are some slightly different design requirements when standing.

But really, it is tough to beat the original large flat space for putting anything on...
