after a 3 year battle to carpal tunnel/RSI/tendinitis i'm finally getting it under control. after taking care of the carpal tunnel with surgery i still had the RSI/tendinitis. pills did nothing to help. touch-pads killed me. PT cost a fortune. i attribute it to a complete change in lifestyle. not working 7 days a week. no more 16 hour programming marathons. getting away from the computer during lunch. i cut out foods which encouraged inflammation, and increased intake of foods which help reduce inflammation. setting my computer screen to lock me out every 1/2 hour for 3 minutes so i stand up. i ended up losing weight in the process:) made sure every work area is ergonomically correct. no more laptops for me. heat, stretching exercises & ice daily. after the severe inflammation went away, i am now finally working my way up to strengthening exercises.
i tried a dozen input devices and finally settled on the mouse which has kept me employed and the Microsoft ergonomic 4000 keyboard.
maybe this will help someone or just give them hope
like a virgin, he's trying this for the very first time. he may usually dare to to stupid, but in this instance he's rejecting the record industry who are clearly addicted to spuds. why should i drive down to my local spatula city when you i just sit at home downloading playing with my bologna. the masses are screaming they want a new duck aleady. it's all about the pentiums baby.
ok i'm done now
i was told by a Dell rep that i was not able to purchase a laptop with XP after i saw it came with Vista. The rep said Dell could no longer sell XP preloaded as of this July. I ended up choosing Ubuntu, but what gives?
