[Somebody just placed a black "fish" on my desk. This is going to take
some time getting used to... (but I guess it's better than not having
one, for the hands...)]

Shimrod >> a soft thingy that's supposed to protect my hands from "wearing
out"...

[The sysadmin who put it here called it a "fish" because he said it felt
like a fish...]
Shimrod [email] 24 Mar. 15:05, from: 129.125.21.119, orange
VK>> Ah, I see. Protection from CTS/RSI. It may feel weird, but it's
a 'good thing'. I've used stacks of CD's or books for the same purpose :-)
VK [email] [home] 24 Mar. 15:06, from: 130.240.2.143, red
Shimrod >> Mmmm... but I haven't figured out yet if it's supposed to
be right next to the keyboard or a little bit back from the keyboard.
When I put it right next to the keyboard it's like I don't have the
same "flexibility" in my hands any more...

VK>> I think it should support your wrist just under your hand, but I'm
no expert :)

Hmm... Which should it be, this:
`._.--------.

/____\ /_____________|
or this:
_
`._.--' `.
`. __.-. \ __.---

/____\/_____________|
?

Ah! But I don't think, that a fish is good for that. It's quite
slippery, as far as I was informed ;)
Shimrod [email] 24 Mar. 15:46, from: 129.125.21.119, orange
Alfie>> :-) It's not an actual fish, that's just what VK calss it.

Actually, it you type a lot, and rather quick... that device
just gets in a way.

My usual position. An I often make guestures like pianists do,
especially when hitting enter after rm -rf :-)

brojek >> It feels very much in the way... but it's supposed to be good
for you (like carrots...). :-\

VK: when my wrists are rested on samething like this, I tend to
keep them in one spot. this is bad, as my entire hands ache
afterwards. not only the shoulders like without this thingy :)
and I like raw carrots.
