While there is a lot of truth and good pointers in the other comments, I have to say I mainly cured myself by... stopping caring about my RSI.
I bought the book "It's not carpal tunnel syndrome" ( Amazon: http://alturl.com/4dkgf ), which mainly tells you to "let it go". Stressing less about your RSI will do wonders.
Add 30 minutes of walking each day (park you car 1 Miles from work), eat less shit (no more bad fats!!). I Also bought a rollball mice, and work in a two mice setup. I alternate between the two during the day (I was NOT ambidex, but within 2 week i gained normal clicking speed in my left arm). The trick with the left handed mouse, is to NOT change your button configuration (right click stays right click, and left click, stays left click. Trust me on this one, your brain will make the transition from left to right seemlessly this way.
Listen to your body, if it's tingle / feel ankward, STOP !! Take a break and come back to it 10 minutes later.
I went to believing I could never work at a computer again to doing 7 hours a day again. Good luck!
Would anybody know; if you buy the boxed version, will you be able to download it from steam at a later date ? Or does buying it over the counter negate any advantage you get from buying it from steam in the first place ?
You apply kernel upgrades to DB production servers ???
Seriously though, our IBM Websphere Application servers takes around 45 minutes to reboot, this would be a great benefit to us as well.
