Re: OT: Ergonomics, or what to do with those TS manuals...

 It is expensive, but a few years ago I was having back, leg, and 
sciatica pain
and I switched my regular office chair to a Herman Miller Aeron. All 
the
problems and pain were gone in a couple of days... They are a fortune 
but they
really are worth it.

Jack - best practical advice I found in a while in this area - thank 
you. I am going to give it a try, starting this weekend - to wield a 
mouse with my left hand. Open the order entry DOM in simulation mode 
and go crazy. Actually, I think the transition would be easy - the 
trouble would be to effectively use the mouse to draw TL's etc. on 
charts.. let's see. 
 
Only thing I can add is that it's best to not use the mouse as much as 
possible, and I already do this. Specially with a multi monitor setup. 
Keyboard shortcuts, alt-tabs etc. work wonders and I suspect way too 
many people just do not use this effectively.
