Home Office Basics

As more of us are working from home either full or part time, we need to think about setting up our home offices with comfort and ergonomics in mind.  Everything from keyboard and mouse to chair and lighting should be considered.  This is one area where you don't want to skimp, especially if you spend more than an hour at the desk or computer.

I dug up a few articles that cover the basics better than I could, so please delve in:
