How should the perfect chair for working with computer look like?

What kind of chair do you think would be perfect for working with computer?

I'm wondering if Perfect Chair from Human Touch could be used for this...

See on codinghorror.com for a great article on the topic. And again here. I agree with Jeff, when he says:

As software developers, we worry a lot about improving and protecting our most important asset-- our brains. But what about our second most important asset-- our rear ends? As much time as we spend seated in front of a computer, it pays to think about investing in quality seating.

Granted, most people here are not programmers, but they sit in front of a computer fairly often and have the same anatomy as we do. Or did I miss something? Treat yourself to a great chair, it will help you survive the many hours spent sitting.

I bought a Steelcase Leap for my home office a few weeks ago and I can tell a huge difference in the pain level in my back. (old injury) Plus...it looks pretty snazzy!

They aren't exactly cheap though. Look at office furniture resellers for demo/display models. I got mine for 40% of retail and I am sure no one ever sat on it. Still had the instruction tag on it.
