Subject:Brand/model of keyboard w/trackball below space bar, func. keys on left? From:Patrick O'Connell <patricko -at- EICON -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 13 Mar 1995 17:14:00 PST
I'm looking for the above to take the strain off of my right elbow -- I've
been told I have tennis elbow and it's due to repetitive strain. Methinks
Mr. Mouse, combined with the not-at-all-ergonomic office furniture we have
here, is to blame! A [whatsitcalled?], the pointing device on IBM Thinkpads,
might do in place of a trackball -- the only problem I can see would be
precision, WRT technical drawings.
Also, programmability would be a plus; I presently have a Gateway 2000
AnyKey and that facet of it has come in very handy sometimes! Macro
programs, shmacro programs; sometimes there's just no substitute for
establishing keystroke equivalencies on the keyboard itself.
Thanx,
PatO'
