Today, doctors in Holland admitted the seventh person into hospital, 
sort of jokingly admitting that this person was suffering from a 
severe case of what they call "Mackintoshitish". THis is a rare 
muscle deficiency, caused by repeatedly pressing the buttons on a
computer mouse, a piece of machinery, designed to replace the 
keyboard. These doctors warn very strongly against the use of this 
so-called mouse since it strongly detoriates the upper hand muscles 
and seems to reflect on ALL the muscles in the hand used to operate 
this device. Quote from a concerned doctor: "If you are using a 
computer now and intend to use it longer, please revert to the
keyboard 
since that is much safer"
