| 121951 | 2003-02-17 08:31:00 | i'm just wondering what happens if u start getting sore fingers from using computer alot...and if they start getting sore..will reducing computer use help? or stop using for 2-3 days? | csinclair83 (200) | ||
| 121952 | 2003-02-17 08:51:00 | If you are getting sore wrists, it may be a good idea to invest in an anti-RSI keyboard, AKA a MS Natural Keyboard. If you are getting RSI, then stopping for a few days wont help, start again and it'll come back. There are a few good sites on the web that help teach you to avoid RSI, by doing hand exercises and stuff. Personally I dont get RSI, but I know people who do get it really bad. Hope this helps Chilling_Silence |

| 121956 | 2003-02-17 20:23:00 | Hows the height of your chair, desk, monitor, keyboard and mouse? Sometimes people persist using a computer even though these things are all wrong. Your first line of defense is to make sure that your body is on fairly natural angles. .Clueless |
