Version: $Revision: 2.20 $ $Date: 1995/10/17 07:41:35 $ URL: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~dwallach/tifaq/changes.html See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Introduction The Typing Injury FAQ (frequently asked questions) is a multipart document targetted at computer users suffering at the hands of their equipment. You'll find pointers to resources all across the net, general information on injuries, and detailed information on numerous adaptive products. The full documents are posted on a number of newsgroups such as sci.med.occupational as well as available via FTP and WWW servers across the globe. This document cites recent changes to the Typing Injury FAQ as well as other online information. Due to its (hopefully) shorter length, this document gets a much wider audience of mailing lists and such. For those of you who've been paying attention, it's been nearly four months since I last posted this. Well, the summer was pretty weird, but I should be back to normal again. My marathon FAQ updating session was made possible by: * Thompson Twins, Into The Gap * G. Love and Special Sauce, G.
