YAY... I don't play tennis
but typing can cause Tennis Elbow!

So off to get a band today... and mostly using Dragon now.

1. We old touch typists have the advantage
We were taught on manual machines that required quite a bit of force to depress the keys (why I flunked it) so our palms had to be curved and our fingers pointing down. It turns out that position is also the best for electric keyboards since it reduces stress on the wrist and allows for the variation in hand movement that prevents RSI disorders.
