What's ELF?  I am also worried about getting CTS.  I've just completed my
undergraduate BS at Purdue - that means that I've been sitting in front of
keyboards for at least 8 years of my life now.  And I don't expect to stop
anytime in the near future.  I feel like a professional athlete worrying
about getting injured!

What can we do to stir awareness of the need for more ergonomic keyboards?
