Ok what's next... the internet chair!


Luxury armchair maker La-Z-Boy Inc. and software giant Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday officially launched a living room throne for the Internet age, complete with computer jacks and equipment for surfing the Web on a television set.

Dubbed the ``Explorer,'' the seat comes with a Microsoft WebTV receiver, wireless keyboard and two free months of the service, which enables Internet surfing, e-mail and interactive programs on a regular TV.

``We've developed the most technologically advanced recliner to date and have created a way for every customer to be comfortable with interactive television, e-mail and the Internet,'' Kevin Wixted, La-Z-Boy director of marketing, said in a statement.

The chair, hailed by the companies as the world's first ''e-cliner,'' is fitted with an electrical plug for a laptop computer and jacks for regular dial-up and high-speed digital subscriber line, or DSL, Internet connections.

How do they make these things up? Oh BTW the fabric version is $1,049 and the leather/vinyl version is $1,299... so for the real business people
