Hi,

On the serious note of copeing with RSI: Raising
my monitor and chair by 6 inches, and finding a mouse
with buttons that require only a light pressure but
then move a significant amount helped me a great deal.

 the acme-style mouse chording...

what concerns me about the chord interface is that the stress issue
is overlooked. i avoid chord-related RSI by carefully avoiding too much
chording on wily. that slows me down, but avoids a much worse situation.
[i gave up emacs years ago because of left-hand control-stress.]

i also wanted to say earlier that sam is fine the way it is. its
popup menu is nearly as fast as chords, and does not appear to
induce stress.
