For any else suffering from back/wrist strain - Cornell has loads of resources on RSI and ergonomic office design here:

I hope that's a help to someone.

My index finger Jul 17, 2008

Yeah, I knew this would ruin someone's day...
My index finger is giving me hell today (I still haven't started that typing course...). I really must start with that very very soon...
Did you have any luck with the programme?

If you are interested I have version 15, it was around 50 Pounds 3 years ago. I would let you have it for a couple of quits.

TypeFaster Jul 18, 2008

FarkasAndras, the prog mentioned above is called TypeFaster. It is a free typing tutorial available here:

http://www.typefastertypingtutor.com/

No idea how good it is, but perhaps Ivana and I can post progress reports in a TypeFaster thread? When we finally get around to trying the darn thing...

Next week Jul 18, 2008

- I am definitely starting the typing course again! What I did was good, quite addictive (the only remedy is a deadline...).
