Computer injuries 2014-03-24, 15:17:36 Just now, I've noticed my fingertip ache. I guess it's because of extensive using of a/the touchpad (sorta "mouse" for laptops).Thing is, I rarely use the left click button - I double-tap on the pad surface instead. That's apart from that this finger is also used in typing among other lilfelluhs. (Share your hardware injuries - I'll rest my finger for now.)

That way no blood veins, sinews or nerves are constricted.

Re: Computer injuries Reply #10 – 2014-03-25, 07:29:54 Quote from: j7n on 2014-03-24, 21:09:10The touchpad is utterly useless, except for an emergency. While it still was my only option, I frequently had my hands crossed, trying to use all keyboard shortcuts to make a selection and perform a standard drag with the touch pad. Oh god.I can't "swipe" on my router's touch screen either. You do realize that there are starving peasants in Kenya , don't you?
