- Anyone else have problems after switching to a NeXT. I, too, had some
- difficulty after switching to the NeXTStation, although not as severe
- as this post. In my case it only affected my mouse (right) hand. I
- suspect it had to do with dragging the wrist along the mouse pad, putting
- slight but steady pressure on the "jellyware" therein. I was able to
- alleviate the problem significantly by getting a foam wrist pad, but
- placing it lengthwise under my right elbow and forearm rather than across
- the width of the keyboard.
-
- Not trying to raise an alarm about this, but I wonder, has anyone
- had better (or worse) luck with the new mouse?
