I just got back from my massage and must eat - just had to respond. you have a RollerMouse???? Amazing!!! I don't know anyone else who has one except for the two people I've personally talked into getting one. You've got to get the Kinesis Freestyle then!!! It's beyond easy to type on. Which keyboard have you been using? Let me know when you get a chance.

I'll be working all weekend on my Chinese microbiologist - 300 pages!

Okay, that totally makes sense - of course you don't have a RollerMouse! Actually I've talked three people into them. Two of them are loving it, and one, Trina, needs to get her new keyboard to really check it out properly.

Well, let me tell you that you SHOULD get a RollerMouse and Freestyle keyboard, especially since you are on the keyboard most of the time, right???

I'll tell you something else all keyboarders should have:

They are padded on the bottom so you don't get any palm/wrist aches. I just bought a pair for my sister, April Floyd. I mailed them off to her today. Check out the videos on the RollerMouse and tell yourself 25% of any jobs from new clients go towards that and the keyboard!

Ellen, You need to inform your husband that the RollerMouse AND Freestyle keyboard are business tax deductions and therefore don't count! And since you work with your arms and shoulders, he should be doing the vacuuming anyway, and should use whatever vacuum he prefers!

Or maybe you better just inform him of the first sentence!
