My RSI (carpal tunnel syndrome) has been pretty bad the past couple of weeks, so I've had to keep computer time mostly for work. Will try to catch up on emails next week, I hope.

I'm really sorry to hear that! What really helped for me last year was:
1. Switching to an ergonomic keyboard (although that makes it really hard to use any other computer because the keys are in "the wrong place"
2. Using a frozen gelpack to ice my hands
3. Wearing wrist splints--after a few minutes' practice you can keyboard with them on.

Thanks for the tips. A nice warm back did a fair job today - also not spending the day at my PC! (So making my body do something different!)
