What was wrong with your sitting position?  I have a hard time with 
desks and chairs.  Being tall with long legs (6'8", 38" inseam), I often 
have a hard time adjusting  furniture to fit me comfortably.  At work, 
my desk is a table put on some wood blocks to make it higher, and I use 
a laptop stand and docking station that holds the display up higher to 
where it's at a comfortable position.  I often struggle with the chair 
adjustments to get them to suit me, and for some reason, I'm really hard 
on the armrests on my office chairs.  At home, I slouch on a couch and 
have my feet on the coffee table to hold up the laptop.  I'm sure this 
is about the worst possible seating. :)
