I don't have any information on setting the computer on a treadmill but here
are a couple sites with information on using an exercise ball as a computer
chair. I often use my exercise ball instead of the regular chair at the
computer at home. You're constantly using the leg and abdominal muscles to
balance yourself. It also reduces back fatigue and improves your posture.
I'm sure if I put the computer on a treadmill it wouldn't be too long before
I became distracted and forgot to walk :)
