Hello Jonathan.

I'd like to agree with you about the repositioning of how you might put your 
fingers.  Only because, earlier, myfingers began to ache and I am worried that 
one might get RSI.  I don't want to be sceptical, but, we need our hands as for 
us all, our hands are important to us due to our inability to see.

Kawal.
