[Tfug] Who needs a UPS?

[Joe Blais]

Actually --- I was thinking more of a reclining bike that fits under a desk.

Then have a Tour deTucson (France) game where you have actual video scenes
of the course with feedback to the bike's resistance drive train to simulate
speed & hills and such. Then be able to switch to see who's behind you - the
guy in the next cubicle (my settings give me enough "performance altering
code" so I never have anyone ahead of me)!

-- Or bicycle through some lush green park anywhere other than your cubicle.

Then you have a sensor that instantly reverts the display back to what you
were supposed to be doing when the boss comes by with the fancy looking pen
you gave him/her for being the world's best boss, which triggers it.

Is it time to go home yet?
