I visited a doctor years ago regarding the same problem - except the pain would sometimes extend up my arm to the elbow. Bad news. It effected fly fishing and would sometimes hurt making a left hand turn in the car. Sometimes a hard cover book would be too much weight for my hand.
I started alternating devices and heights of the device. The following has kept me doctor and pain free for six years now:
Typical mouse on a flat (no ergonomic ledge for the wrist) mouse pad.
Trackball directly on my desk surface.
Typical mouse on a mouse pad with an ergonomic ledge for the wrist.
Trackball on a small trade paperback book.
This sounds like a pain but it's not. When I notice pain - after about six months now (was originally just a week per configuration) - I switch.
The solution here is using different muscles and tendons. By alternating input device and hand - as well as forearm - position the stress is from repetetive motion is better distributed.
Your friend's mileage may differ but this. You should also encourage her to use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible. Consider the repetition saved if she uses CTRL-S, CTRL-O and CTRL-W instead of the mouse. Combining keyboard shortcut use with alternative input devices and positioning could be a simple mechanical solution that's also inexpensive and something she can take charge of.
Since the airport will now be immune to a direct assult, have they thought of defending it from a small ground force, sent to shut down the shield generator?
Didn't you see Star War 5 (2 for those of us who remember the 300 baud modem)? The Empire had to send in ATATs to take out the shield generator. And those things can be gutted with a grappling hook, light saber, and timer bomb.
Think of all the airports destroyed by terrorists around the world! Never again! With this shield we'll stay the course and finally stop Iraq!
Right on. Some of the comments here about the distractability factor of email, particularly in a work environment. Turn off email for a few hours. If it's that important someone will find you (IM, Phone, Cell, or walk over if that's possible). A lot of/.ers are too busy looking for the digital panacea they don't know the power of the Quit command, at least for a few hours.
... we didn't have cell phones back then, sonny. But the school did demand access to all the ad-hoc networks of soup cans with a taut string between them. This been going on since the first student laughed behind the back of the first principal.
Does that mean Windows 95 is just as secure as Windows XP because "design has nothing to do with it"? Though there is certainly a relationship between design and visibility, as you indicate, design matters.
Jobs needs to abandon proprietary hardware once and for all...Until he does that, he can expect to remain on the fringe irrespective of anything else he might do.
Fringe? Did you really say "... he can expect to remain on the fringe..."
You're going to use a bunch of tables for presentation as well, aren't you?
Boy, you've got that right. With CSS and widths set to percentages I can't really think of why anyone would need to query for resolution size. It's very useful for handhelds and cell phones, but even then specifying another style sheet for those devices is best because tables don't work on many of those devices - again coming full circle to CSS and percentage widths. Hell, even image size (height and width) can be specified as a percentage of the parent container.
I can one-up you there. I had a kid try and cheat off my on a math test in 7th grade. I changed all my answers so I could quickly fix them after I was done, and turned my test in after he was done copying. The best was on the day we got the tests back, and the teacher called up the cheater to her desk to talk to him. I sat in the back of the room and could hear her: "Jason, I just don't understand how all your answers were off by one."
Nicely done. All off by one!

After the trials and tribulation of Junior and High School I've let a sore spot fester into outright derision for football players. The pose far too many challenges to evolutionary theory and intelligent design.
So... when I realized a football player for my college team was cheating off my psychology exam I intentionally answered the questions in the multiple choice exam the wrong way. For example: I bubbled the answer to Question 3 in the Question 4 area. After I was done the fooooball player took his exam up to the front of the class and then left.
I then went back and re-positioned my responses in the correct place.
After failing the final the fooooball player saw me on campus and asked me what I got. I said "B" - what did you get? He said "A f*@#in F. How'd do you get a B and I got an F?" I said "I studied." He didn't want to admit to cheating so he just glared at me and walked away.
All good gamers know that you play until your hit points get low, rest, then come back. The period of time between resting grows longer as you level up.
Opera's most unique product currently is thier small device browsers, currently the best browser available for palm and symbian.
Where's their PalmOS browser? Their download page doesn't show any. Opera has had a small-screen viewing mode for quite some time, but I'm not aware they have a version for Palm.

Fringe? Did you really say "... he can expect to remain on the fringe ..."
All of which is really consistent with your point "...Apple are still going to remain largely irrelevant."
If you call those achievemens 'largely irrelevant' and 'fringe' I'd love to see your resume!

Add that to your play book!

Gosh, you make it sound like the Web started as a text content medium or something!
Err, I mean ...
