I'm spending 10+ hours a day at a screen having done so now for maybe 15 years, and no matter how many breaks I take, the ergonomic setup of my desk, whatever, I'm starting to feel the onset of RSI creeping in. So, I want to see what keyboards you guys are using. Is the painful switch to Dvorak worth it? Have you found a particularly decent keyboard that is incredibly comfortable? I'm currently seriously considering: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5113536463&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT but $300 is a lot to blow on a keyboard. Even if it does have an emacs mode. Anybody used these and reccomend them, or condemn them? Any thoughts/comments gratefully received before I get the credit card out. -- Paul Robinson http://www.iconoplex.co.uk/
