It doesn't look very comfortable. I kept trying to adjust my sound controls, but could not hear anything but a "pop" when I increased or decreased the volume control via the keyboard. The YouTube volume was all the way up. dntknw.gif

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

Maybe there was no sound so we wouldn't here the moans and screams! eek2.gif I'm sure that was a problem soon addressed...

I really liked the "spats!" biggrin.gif But they didn't do 'safety' much good showing that fellow not using a hand rail when traversing  the stairs! nono.gif

It also appears to help standing posture. It seems to cause the body to tilt slightly forward causing the person to lean the torso slightly backward and straightening any tendency to 'slouch.' smile.gif Of course, you don't want 'slouches' on the factory floor, either. And, as an added benefit, those bulbous things on the back would make handy hand-holds when pitching some one 'out the door!' laugh.gif

Honda has some very innovative and useful ideas, I suppose they feel this could help limit back strains and other minor health problems and cut manufacturing costs, at least for them.

Oops, forgot to add this desirable link for those needing spats immediately. <Get yours here!>
