         4 . The computer work station of    claim 1    further comprising a key board support mounted adjacent said seat.  
     
     
         5 . The computer work station of    claim 4    wherein said pivot means also pivotally moves said key board support relative to said base.  
     
     
         6 . The computer work station of    claim 5    wherein said seat, said computer monitor and said key board support all pivot about a common pivot point.  
     
     
         7 . The computer work station of    claim 4    further comprising key board support moving means for moving said key board support relative to said seat.  
     
     
         8 . The computer work station of    claim 7    wherein said key board support moving means allows generally horizontal, reciprocal movement of said key board support between a first position adjacent said seat and a second position distal said seat.  
     
     
         9 . The computer work station of    claim 7    wherein said key board support moving means allows generally vertical, reciprocal movement of said key board support between a first position adjacent said seat and a second position distal said seat.  
     
     
         10 . The computer work station of    claim 9    wherein said key board support moving means also allows generally horizontal, reciprocal movement of said key board support between a first position adjacent said seat and a second position distal said seat.  
     
     
         11 . A computer work station adapted to be positioned upon a support surface comprising: 
 a seat;    a computer monitor support adapted to support a computer monitor thereon, said computer monitor support being coupled to said seat; and    reciprocal pivot means for vertically pivoting said seat and said computer monitor support relative to a support surface underlying said computer work station,    whereby the relative distance and orientation between the seat and the computer monitor support remains the same throughout their pivotal motion.    
     
     
         12 . The computer work station of    claim 11    wherein said seat and said computer monitor support are pivoted about a common pivot point.  
     
     
         13 . The computer work station of    claim 12    wherein said pivot means includes a base pivotally coupled to said seat.  
     
     
         14 . The computer work station of    claim 13    wherein said pivot means further comprises a lower support pivotally coupled to said base, and wherein said lower support couples said computer monitor support to said seat, and wherein said lower support is pivotally coupled to a base to provide the pivotal movement of said seat and said computer monitor support relative to said base.  
     
     
         15 . The computer work station of    claim 11    further comprising a key board support mounted adjacent said seat.  
     
     
         16 . The computer work station of    claim 15    wherein said pivot means also pivotally moves said key board support relative to said base.  
     
     
         17 . The computer work station of    claim 16    wherein said seat, said computer monitor and said key board support all pivot about a common pivot point.  
     
     
         18 . The computer work station of    claim 15    further comprising key board support moving means for moving said key board support relative to said seat.  
     
     
         19 . The computer work station of    claim 18    wherein said key board support moving means allows generally horizontal, reciprocal movement of said key board support between a first position adjacent said seat and a second position distal said seat.  
     
     
         20 . The computer work station of    claim 18    wherein said key board support moving means allows generally vertical, reciprocal movement of said key board support between a first position adjacent said seat and a second position distal said seat.  
     
     
         21 . The computer work station of    claim 20    wherein said key board support moving means also allows generally horizontal, reciprocal movement of said key board support between a first position adjacent said seat and a second position distal said seat.
