Thanks, John, I'm well schooled on CTS, though I'm sure your comments are enlightening to other readers of the thread who are just starting to notice some symptoms. I wear wrist splints, use NaturallySpeaking (paid $2,500 for the PowerSecretary version of it in 1995), and have four different computer stations around my house in part to vary my environment. I also drink a gallon of water a day, which helps because it forces me to take frequent breaks. A small practice putting area in the living room accomplishes a similar goal. Nobody here has mentioned chairs, but they're an important part of a good computer experience, especially for traders. I bought a ZackBack in 1996 and find it really helpful.

John, Sowbug, Pae, and others. No way is CTS tangential here. I (and I'll bet others reading) have beginning symptoms, and I've read enough about it to strike plenty cold pangs through the old panic centers, not to mention moving metacarpel parts. Keep talking; I'm listening very, very attentively. I have a few comments, but I'd rather hear more first. Especially on chairs. Learning and learning every day. Best regards, Spots PS. Sowbug, I'm VERY sory to hear of your trouble. It makes you a real authority, and I, for one, would like to hear anything and everything you have to say about it. Dump it!
