It's possibly counterintuitive but I find laptop keyboards much less painful than 'normal' keyboards.. They have little key travel and are light to push which seems to be the pain problem for me. I don't make my arms straight when typing - I just bend my fingers to different lengths. The pad of my hand rests on the laptop and my arm rests on the table. As someone else said... I suspect it's 90% personal as to what weird combination works with your body :) - -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBGWV45ZPcIHs/zowRAr0RAJ4s1WoSLiSiYnUhW8beM5alTWrPMQCePpTi Y4zdjS1Ugnu5PXBP0hqM91U= =7h+d -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
