- Introduction
-
- The Typing Injury FAQ (frequently asked questions) is a multipart document
- targetted at computer users suffering at the hands of their equipment. You'll
- find pointers to resources all across the net, general information on injuries,
- and detailed information on numerous adaptive products. The full documents are
- posted on a number of newsgroups such as sci.med.occupational as well as
- available via FTP and WWW servers across the globe.
-
- This document cites recent changes to the Typing Injury FAQ as well as other
- online information. Due to its (hopefully) shorter length, this document gets a
- much wider audience of mailing lists and such.
-
- For those of you who've been paying attention, it's been nearly four months
- since I last posted this. Well, the summer was pretty weird, but I should be
- back to normal again. My marathon FAQ updating session was made possible by:
-
- * Thompson Twins, Into The Gap
- * G. Love and Special Sauce, G. Love and Special Sauce
- * They Might Be Giants, Apollo 18
- * Live, Throwing Copper
- * Lyle Lovett, Lyle Lovett and his Large Band
