[AccessD] OT Wrist/Arm Pain - was Short Date Input Mask quest ion

Dan, she got mad because someone made fun of her when typing on a split
keyboard. They said she looked like she was doing the chicken dance with her
elbows out there like open doors :P

Who hurt you Charlotte? :) <Run, Duck & Hide>

(Is it Friday yet?)

Gee Charlotte!  I LOVE split keyboards!  I just keep my elbows resting
on the arms of my chair next to my side, my wrists stay straight, and
all works fine.

It is really interesting to learn how many different specific solutions
people have come up with to solve these RSI problems.

I've never had wrist problems from typing, only from reaching out and up
to use the mouse.  A keyboard shelf with and articlating mouse shelf
puts the mouse level with the wrist rest for the keyboard, and I haven't
had any problems since.

PS/ I *hate* split keyboards and those ergonomic nightmares.  I CANNOT
type with my elbows stuck out like open doors!
