Do you get RSI using your PC?
Like many people I use a PC both at home and at work, and find more and more that overuse of a keyboard and mouse gives me repetitive strain-type pain in my fingers. It seems to be mostly due to using a mouse, and specifically clicking the buttons.
Now it's no bad thing to have a natural limit imposed on computer use - after all there are other things to life - but I'd rather not be forced to stop when I don't want to. Obvously using a Pocket PC for as many things as possible reduces the need to use a desktop PC, but there are loads of tasks for which you just need a PC.
I've trained myself to use the mouse with both hands, so I can alternate, but now I just get pains in both hands. I recently bought a trackball so I could click buttons with my thumb, and this helps a bit.
Anyone else have similar problems? Any suggestions?
