- Sounds like you want the Typing Injuries FAQ, which I post monthly to,
- among other places, sci.med, sci.med.occupational, and news.answers (and,
- the more I think of it, I should post to comp.human-factors. Anybody have
- any reason why not?).

- There's nothing out there for Sun's. For PC's, you have a number of choices.
- The two most interesting are the Bat (about $500 for two hands) and the
- Twiddler (around $200 for one hand, and includes a wacky built-in mouse).
-
- Grab the FAQ for more exciting details. You'll find it easiest in
- sci.med.occupational (a thankfully low-volume newsgroup).
