Keyboards & health: A new report from Harvard Medical School challenges previous accepted wisdom: "Research indicates that those susceptible to carpal tunnel do not increase their chances of the disorder by heavy computer use of up to seven hours per day. The Harvard Medical School report also warned that problems due to improper computer use or workplace habits could contribute to injuries of the neck and shoulders, as well as other parts of the body."

Thanks for posting this story.. I think people should be more aware of the neck and should issues, I forone experince a real crick in my right shoulder from so much mousing arund... I think the report should have noted that computer users today do much more mousing and less typing, which may be the reason that the results are different today...

I experience severe problems with my neck because of that. But it's my chair to blame.
