I got rid of my RSI without using one. However, I do feel that a stand-up desk is good for my body as well. You can get some variation through the day by alternating between sitting and standing. It also makes it a lot easier to adjust the desk to the correct height when sitting at it (no more turning little screws at the bottom of the desk legs to adjust the height).

There were also reports a while ago about how sitting all day lowers your life expectancy - another reason to try to stand up part of the day.

I agree man.

We can't really make this world a great place if we don't live long. So, lets stand up.

From my experience, standing desks are worth it. It will take a week or a few to adapt your feet and legs, though.
