[P1] Carpal Syndrome...

[Gary D. Adams]

Pat:

If you could retrain yourself, you would type as I do--with my wrists 
actually resting on my the front of my Pismo and iBook. My mother, who 
at one time was secretary to the chief of the CAB (forerunner of the 
FAA) and an incredibly fast typist, could not believe how I type!

A couple of weeks ago, Megamacs in Tulsa, OK, advertised a roll-up gel 
keyboard for $20. I saw some later that week in CompUSA. Megamacs still 
has them--for $25 now. I don't know whether that's something you would 
want or whether it would help your CTS,  but it would surely be portable.
