You wouldnt believe how much I want to say “I really have to call my lawyer” in conversation.

Where I work we have gel support for both keyboards and mice, although I don’t use the keyboard gel, for me its more of a hindrance than a help, it kinda positions my wrists too high for the keyboard. It took me a while to feel totally comfortable with the mouse gel, but now I wouldnt do without it, my wrist doesn’t ache at all now.

The phrase "I have to call my lawyer" sounds very self important I think, lol.

The keyboard that we have for our old desktop PC here at home has its own wrist support, so I can very easily adjust for that at work. At home, though, I use my laptop, so my wrists are supported but I've noticed my fingertips getting very sore if I type for any length of time. Also, Im not used to using a mouse at home, just my touchpad, so the mouse at work is very much an annoyance.

I agree, it does sound self important, wouldn’t stop me from saying though :)

The touch pad is the main reason why I haven’t got a laptop, I just cant get used to them, they're too small and fiddly. Also, I had to use a laptop at work for a little while and it got really hot, especially in the area where you rest your wrists. But I would still like one, I hate using my computer at home and sitting in almost the exact same position as I do at work, I just wanna relax laid out on my bed.

My laptop doesnt get all that hot, even when sitting directly on my lap. I know older laptops used to get really hot, but I dont think the newer ones get quite as hot. Plus, its not recommended that men use laptops directly on their laps for fear of cooking the spermies ;)

lol, so fiddly touch pads would be the least of my worries. Still, with mobile phones, TV (lots of TV *sigh*), computers, etc. I wouldnt be surprised if i’m completely sterile already!
