RE: [MI-L] Slightly off topic - Repetitive strain type problems

[Rex Ballard]

Hi Andrew, I believe this topic has been discussed a few months ago.  Bill Donaldson of Data Directions provided a summary of responses regarding the use of tablets in place of a mouse.  He stated that one reason he was considering a tablet was to overcome RSI problems.   Cheers Rex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Young Andrew Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 1:08 AM To: MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com Subject: RE: [MI-L] Slightly off topic - Repetitive strain type problems   No, I don’t realise what advertisement I am doing?? Please explain what I am advertising.   I must admit though, on reading my post over again, it does sound like an advert. “Do you suffer from…….then buy our….”   No, it is a genuine query, I am a GIS manager in a public sector authority and am starting to notice what may be worrying trends with users within my authority.   And yes, after subscribing for at least 6 years, I’m gradually beginning to realise which forum I’m on.

I’m interested because there seems to be a spate of users around me who are developing various different symptoms; wrist, shoulder, elbow pain,  and they all input/alter GI data in some form or another. Could it be an industry trend that we need to start safeguarding against?     Andrew Young ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
