Abstract
A data processing workstation environment is rendered more comfortable for an operator by adapting the system to permit heated, vented air from the interior of the computer to be directed into a conduit coupling which terminates in a selected area of the workstation. In one embodiment, the heated air is introduced into the interior of the operator keyboard creating a warm airflow through and over the keys. In another embodiment, the air is directed downward at the feet of the operator. In a still further embodiment, heated air is selectively directed at either the keyboard or downward.
