Well, I went ahead and got an eNook. You know, the desk I mentioned a few months ago here on BrainBlenders that hangs on the wall and folds down enabling one to keep a tighter workspace. I really don't need a tighter work environment...but I do love the idea of being able to stand at my desk and have others walk up to the space and comfortably look off of my computer screen. And although many have questioned my sanity I really like it. My real hope is that it will afford me more communication space around my office. I would prefer the space to become a very open use location.
To give you some perspective the unfolded workspace is 42 inches high. 37 inches wide and 100% dope (sorry...listening to KRS-One right now).
Glad to hear you like our eNook, I'm Melissa, with Anthro and I wanted to let you know we are having our Birthday Sale through the month of October. I thought you'd be interested in our weekly special (10/13-19) on the eNook, that's over $180 off. Come check it out at www.anthro.com

thanks nichole...and if any new readers here want my opinion on my take on the eNook some 6 months after installing it in my office, here it is.
If you like to walk up to your desk, check your email, read your blog, or just pop in and out of your desk environment - BUY THIS DESK. It still rocks, people still walk over to see my workspace and I am still more than pleased with the eNook. There you go, my two cents.

I work for Anthro,the manufacturer of eNook, and thought you might be interested to know that there is a big sale on eNook right now. (You can save $150.00 for a limited time.)

a.brain - how is the eNook working out for you now?

I work for a mnaufacturer of similar type work stations. Our work stations are primarily used in the healthcare field as an alternative to computer carts. Have a look - www.proximitysystems.com

Compliments are flooding in from co-workers. People are really digging it...and of course, it should go without saying that I still like it.

Was directed here from Anthro's site to see what you had to say about the eNook and I really like your blog. Will add it as one of my feeds...thanks, John.

I use workstations like this to stir my bathwater.

Tom - I hate to break it to you, but a.brain never stands in one place for extended periods of time...
I dig it, a.brain. Even makes me a little homesick - I always thought I'd be around to see it.

42" seems like a high workstation? Must not have any back problems if you can stand there for an extended period of time. Looks like something I would want in a "nook" like area.
