Ergonomics used to be a ‘big thing’ in computing, but

seems to be getting less emphasis these days. Brian Plush

takes a break from discussing graphics in this issue (but

the cover is his) to discuss exercises to keep you fit and

flexible while you slave over a hot keyboard. I’ve recently

taken to balancing on an exercise ball, and my usual

exercise is to pull up a few weeds. Whatever your choice

of diversion, take a break every now and then.

Last month’s meeting was well attended, and people saw

the latest in digital cameras, particularly from Nikon.

The visiting presenters used a PC, but these days any

digital camera will work withMacs, and be recognised by

iPhoto. The choices may seem daunting, but there are

resources online, and magazines on shelves, to help you

choose. And yes, we had a quick look at a G5.

This month’s meeting is SIGS, with the usual offerings,

although with a couple of different presenters. As is

usual, the December meeting will be something special,

so make a particular effort to be present on 5 December.
