We encourage everyone to copy and distribute the accompany file (or a printout) via any medium possible (email, fax, snail-mail, photocopy, newsletter, magazine, paper airplane, stuffed in a bottle, etc.) as long as it stays entirely in original form. Our intent is to help as many people in the world as possible who are at risk or already suffer from debilitating hand and wrist pain. If you know anyone like that, please send them copies to post by their computers. You may save them a lifetime of pain.
This file is in PostScript format as printed by Macintosh PageMaker 4.2, and may require the following fonts (I downloaded them into the file, but I can only test on my QMS-PS 410 printer, so if it prints badly on your printer, install the fonts into your System file): Helvetica, Palatino, and Zapf Dingbats, all of which come with your original System disks. To download this PostScript file to your PostScript printer, you need the LaserWriter Font Utility, which also comes on your original System disks. Just run the LaserWriter Font Utility (I think your printer has to be on at this point), choose Download PostScript File... from the Utilities menu, and select the "TidBITS/Caring for Wrists/PS" file. The file should print on any PostScript laser printer. It looks best at resolutions of 600 dpi and above but looks fine at 300 dpi.
Our apologies for the massive size of this file when expanded. We couldn't figure out any way to make it significantly smaller and still get it to print. At least the file compresses well.
