Getting old.

In Reply to: best position and board for typing - getting old

The keyboard in your lap is not right.  That will cause you so much pain.  Ergo is something we have heard about for years, but there is a lot to it.  Get that keyboard out of your lap immediately and check out an ergo, body friendly web site.  I am old too.  I was in a conference call about a month ago, when the other MTs were bragging about starting out with keyboards like Wang, and such.  I learned to type on a MANUAL TYPEWRITER.  You cannot be productive and have the keyboard in your lap.  I would recommend switching to an Ergo keyboard, 50.00 at Best Buy.  Your joints and muscles will suffer, get that keyboard out of your lap.  When you switch to split keyboard, it will be too awkward to put in your lap.
