You are wise to forearm yourself before the strain takes its toll. 
You are well-advised to acquire an Apple desktop keyboard. for 
starters. And after an occupational therapist warned me of the 
dangers of using a laptop for many hours (due to the lowered screen), 
I went out to Home Depot and bought a white coated wire thingee that 
is an element in shelving and my Ti sits atop of it keeping the 
screen at eye level. I have the added bonus of having additional desk 
space under the shelf and my keyboard slides under there as well.

Anyone spending many hours daily at their Ti is well advised to 
ensure that the screen is up at eye level and that they sit in a 
chair with proper support.
