The attached article is interesting (though 6 months old). While it's OK to

"WELLINGTON (New Zealand) -- People who spend long hours sitting in front of a
computer screen risk developing life-threatening blood clots, medical
researchers warned.
"Dubbed 'e-Thrombosis', the disorder was reported in the European Respiratory
Journal by a group of researchers who described a 32-year-old man who almost
died after developing a massive blood clot that formed in his leg veins and
travelled to his lungs.
"The man spent up to 18 hours a day working at his computer, the report said. "
