RE: Re: Another [OT]

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't remember which computer desk I got from Ikea (I think it was called
the "Jerker" or something like that) but it's bloody superb ...
it had
optional swiveling side shelves / tables (which I bought three of) and an
optional high level shelf extension (which I didn't get).

I don't think they do it any more though... :-(
