ObSomewhatWeak-Yet-HumorousHack:

I started getting carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand from typing
80-100wpm for 8-10 hours a day (thassalottawords!).  So I bought one
of those MicroSux Natural Keyboards.  Mind you, I run Accelerated X over
BSDI, this is the only M$ product in my dept, but I figured it might
work.  Lo and behold, it did, I haven't had any problems with shooting
pains and/or dull aches in my hands since i plugged it in.  BUT
the keyboard has these stupid Win95 keys between "alt" and the
spacebar
on both sides.

So, I busted out our casio labeller and made two little stickers for
these otherwise-useless keys:

"CUSS"
and
"PRAY"

they help, I swear it!
