Can we have some posted suggestions and discussion about how to PREVENT
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from appearing, whether or not we happen to
have a natural/genetic predisposition to get it? From the discussion,
it would seem that your style of typing is an important factor, and
resting the wrist is bad, but what should we look for to avoid 
developing this condition? I would think that such measurements as
height of elbows in relation to height of keyboard, which determines
the angle your forearms are held at, would be important, but I have
no idea what is good and what is bad.
