[geeks] Carpal tunnel

I had a carpal tunnel operation several years ago, and I wish I never
did! My right hand hasn't been the same since. I find that using the
mouse hurts a lot more than typing does. I keep the keyboard right at
the end of the desk, so my wrists have no where to rest, which keeps
them at a good angle, but the mouse is another problem. On my other
machine's desk I can rest my arm while using the mouse, and that makes
it much easier to use, but this is one of those corner computer desks,
and there's no place to rest the arm while using the mouse. :(
