- A novelty mouse pad. If you are crafty, recycle an old one with a clean new top. Adhere a soft fabric or felt with no-sew fabric glue.

- A big coffee mug, so he doesn't have to leave the keyboard as often for refills.

- Cup warmer, or insulated cup.

- A CD-rom storage rack. available in a variety of styles and prices.

- Coupons for a pizza place that delivers.

- Headset adapter for hands-free telephoning. (This is from the computer guy in my life.)

- High-quality anti-glare filter for the monitor.

- Donut-shaped chair cushion to reduce pressure on hemorrhoids?

I am surrounded by techies (all my friends are!): Try this website: wwwthinkgeek.com or geeks.com

They have tons of gadgets! Depending on how much you want to spend, all my friends love "Apple" toys such as an Iphone or Ipods.

The apple website sells refurbished items for a better price. This is what I did last year.

How about some kind of subscription with the latest in Computer technology magazine (if one exists, I'm pretty sure there are some) It's the gift that keeps giving and he'll stay current. When presenting him the subscription include the current issue of the magazine. If he's into graphics, maybe special paper or graphic programs!

How about an interesting mouse pad? They come with all kinds of pictures, from Star Trek. You can often find inexpensive computer games. I know places like Kmart and Wal-mart have CD's that have games for about $10. A box of disks for the computer would also be a good idea.

Many people get stiff and sore from sitting in one place for so long. A back massager (the kind that fits over the back of the chair) would be a great idea. Also, the foot warmers/massagers can be used while they are using the computer. Also, a mat under the chair makes rolling around a lot easier.
