What I'd wish to know earlier?
- That computer mices are retarded and trackballs are the way to go.
- That there are much better keyboards out there and the standard layout is retarded (ortho is a minimum) - currently using X-Bows, previously Microsoft Ergo 4000. There are options.
- That the tilted keyboard (its top tilted) is one of the worst ideas ever. It should be exactly the opposite.
- That I need to make breaks.
- That when something is titled "ergonomic" in 9 out of 10 cases is at best anti-ergonomic. Plus what's really ergonomic is often ugly.
- That weightlifting helps a lot with maintaining rarely used muscles in a good shape.
- That sometimes the only thing I need to do is to put my hands into a warm water for 15 minutes.
- That I don't need to write everything on a computer. I switch between a pen and a keyboard all the time.
