I don't remember which issue that the original article about the guy who invented the keyboard which breaks in half and can be folded but the latest (August) issue has a column (for lack of a better a name) on some of the upcoming products which could help deal with repetitive stress disorders. This include chording input devices, wrist rests, and others. My main problem is that the novel input devices are going to be way too expensive -- I don't think I could convince my research advisor that I needed a chording input device if it costs 5 times what a regular keyboard does...Well, just my opinions and some info... --Erik (evensen@husc.harvard.edu)
