iGo Desk
Manufacturer: Rain Design Inc., San Francisco
Price: $500 (sitting), $600 (standing)

If you're a Macintosh aficionado, you're likely superconscious about style issues. Here's the iGo, a desk that complements the futuristic styling of your iMac. Rain Design has created this avant-garde work environment in two heights—one for use while you're sitting, and another for standing.


KidzMouse
Manufacturer: KidzMouse Inc., San Mateo, Calif.
Price: $21 (ball), $26 (optical)

KidzMouse makes a line of child-friendly mice that come in colorful character designs, including some licensed from Disney, Nickelodeon and Sesame Street. Designed by a grandmother for her 4-year-old granddaughter, this mouse is half the size of a conventional computer mouse, with a rounded shape that fits growing hands. Instead of the traditional mouse buttons, the KidzMouse has a squeezable "head" that covers the front third of the device. If you're a grown-up with small hands, you might find this a comfortable alternative to a normal mouse.


Mirra Chair
Manufacturer: Herman Miller Inc., Zeeland, Mich.
Price: Starts at $519

You need a good chair for working at your computer. Your aching back will thank you for it. But you can't afford to remortgage the house to pay for it. Take a look at (and a seat in) the new, award-winning Mirra from Herman Miller. The chair is designed in Germany to be ergonomically adaptable and provide support where you need it.
