[Hidden-tech] Looking for used laptop

[Tom Gajda]

Hi Naaz,
 
I have been on a computer 9 hours per day for 15 years. After feeling
repetitive stress in my fingers, wrist and arm from a regular mouse, I
switched to a Kensington trackball for many years. It helped a lot
(especially with the arm stress, but then, after several years, I started
getting finger stress in the fingers that control the ball. I now use
several brands and type of mice and switch between right and left hand
mousing. This is the best solution I have found for minimizing stress.
 
Regards,

Thank you so much to all who replied to my question.  I truly appreciate all
the perspectives and suggestions.  
 
My thought was just as Melinda said, that a laptop would allow me to work in
different settings and positions, thus reducing the same repetitive stress.
I seem to have mouse stress as well as keyboard stress (which by the way
developed while using an ergonomically designed, split keyboard).  I've
heard both the pen and the roller ball mouse recommended.  I have returned
to my conventional keyboard for the time being, holding it on my lap (any
comments?). 
 
I keep trying to use the XP speech recognition tool, but I get impatient
because of all the (rather funny) errors.  Perhaps Dragon would serve me
better, Peter?  I will also experiement with the ergonomic suggestions.
Now, if only I can stay conscious enough to maintain an aligned and relaxed
posture.  Today, my remedy was to take a brisk two-hour walk.  Thanks again.
Naaz
