I'm not sure I agree. When I'm intent on something, I crane my neck to
see/be involved whether I need to or not. I do this while reading books or
reading my computer screen. It has nothing to do with my ability to read the
screen, but rather the intensity with which I'm involved. It accounts for
most of my upper back and neck pain and is something I'm trying to correct.

How do you manage the reboot of your nervous system?

I think this depends a lot on your eyes.  I feel fortunate to have
eyes that allow me to read a monitor practically from the other side
of the room, so I can sit erect without craning my neck.  It might be
worth looking into better lenses (or a lower monitor resolution) if
you find yourself frequently leaning toward the monitor.  As I recall
when we worked together, Nick, your 17" monitor was often set to
3400x2100 or something :^)
