I highly recommend an ergonomic keyboard, mouse, and computer setup if you spend a lot of time on the computer. You only get one body ya know!

Just picked one up from Amazon for $32, no tax and free shipping. It works great. Does anyone know how to change the zoom toggle in the middle to "scroll"?. Have this working with my Microsoft Trackball Explorer.

The ergonomic keyboard is great. Used to have problems from my wrists to my elbows until I switched to one of these. Have not had any problems since. Wish I could say the same for the OD rebate as they fooled me once, never again. I'd rather pay the $2 extra at Amazon then take a chance on the OD rebate.

i try not to bother with rebates, too much hassle, and most rebate companies are a bunch of lying cheats

the most "ergonomic" setup would have you in a fetal position, floating in warm goo. so there it is. post number seven.

i like mac keyboards. very slim, tiny. could never get used to these natural keyboards since they first came out around 96-97.
