What does cause it in my > case is: I've done some research on this issue, due to my own problems with RSI. My experience is that RSI is a very personal problem, and each person reacts differently to different situations.

I've actually been able to find a couple of original Cherry QWERTY keyboards here in Belgium. -- Brad Knowles, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
