I though I must have read this wrong, since I figured that a large three
figure sum would be at least £600, but having just looked at
www.maltron.com I see that they aren't quite that dear, but not too far
off. Good job you can rent them for only £10 a week.

I just use one of those gel-wrist wrests, you know, the ones with the
consistency of a soft-on. I find that they are excellent for keeping my
fingers fine. That, and doing as little work as possible.
