And I'm a >virgo...hee hee). Kevin - I have been using my Ti-500 for almost two years, for much more than 8 hours a day, almost every day. My only modification is the Ti-Tote&Tilt handle, which (aside from making it safe and easy to move around, and providing cooling air space) slightly changes (improves) the screen height and position. I LOVE the trackpad, and the keyboard. I have never had any head, neck, arm or wrist ache. To me, the Ti is very ergonomic. HTH. regards, Trevor --
