With this increasing policy of miniturisation, have any manufacturers considered the amount of work it's creating for Health professionals like myself? A recent case of a student buying a Netbook to do University dissitations on has resulted in such overwhelming repetative strain injury that she cannot type at all.

Maybe at some point in the future, the the great public will turn on these technology manufacturers and get them to accept the concept of "ergonomic"

Never mind RSI, she should be checked for lack of mental activity.

I have a netbook for posting abusive messages on bulletin boards while on the bog, or similar, but I also have a proper laptop for actually *working* on for more than twenty minutes at a time.

Because I'm not a bloody idiot.

Hope that helps,

Is crap. Every "ergonomic" product I've ever used manages to be even _harder_ on the body part in question(hands, back, etc) then the sane product. Whoever created ergonomics probably got a ritzy position in Hell's upper management.
