ObSomewhatWeak-Yet-HumorousHack:
I started getting carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand from typing
80-100wpm for 8-10 hours a day (thassalottawords!). So I bought one
of those MicroSux Natural Keyboards. Mind you, I run Accelerated X over
BSDI, this is the only M$ product in my dept, but I figured it might
work. Lo and behold, it did, I haven't had any problems with shooting
pains and/or dull aches in my hands since i plugged it in. BUT
the keyboard has these stupid Win95 keys between "alt" and the
spacebar
on both sides.
So, I busted out our casio labeller and made two little stickers for
these otherwise-useless keys:
"CUSS"
and
"PRAY"
they help, I swear it!
