This Is A Big Desk

[billroper]

It's a big desk. I mean really big. It is wider than the old desk, the return is longer, and it has a hutch. It's a good thing that I'd already planned to get rid of the bookcase near the door, because it wouldn't fit if I tried. (Well, unless I put the enormous laser printer on the desk, but that seems like a bad idea.)

The computers are hooked up again, I can connect to the Internet, and I think I should get some sleep now. Once everything's where it belongs, there will be a picture.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a "return"?

It's the section at right angles to the main desk, slightly lower and narrower, on which one puts a keyboard (used to be a typewriter, of course).

Right. This is a "secretary's desk", but it's the right design for computer workers. I've discovered that a left-hand return for a right-hand mouse user solves multitudes of fatigue problems, as I can rest my entire right forearm on the desk when mousing.
