i don't want to be a kill-joy on this matter as I have stood for over 5 years while editing but I am now re-thinking this.

" it dramatically increases the risks of carotid atherosclerosis (ninefold) because of the additional load on the circulatory system, and it also increases the risks of varicose veins, so standing all day is unhealthy."
the other note i wanted to add was that i saw a review of a small and seemingly silly app called Break Time recently. It is a clock that come sup over your apps - and basically says
"Hey you have been stuck in front of that Mac for half an hour get up and walk around for 60 seconds"

If nothing else it will make you walk around and make you realise how enslaved we are to the machine :-)
