Apple saves my wrist?
Jul. 11th, 2015 03:32 pmThe 2012 MacBook Pro that used to be my work laptop has a super stiff spring in its trackpad. After a long stretch of working from home a few months back, I started to feel some RSI in my right wrist. I got a trackball mouse, which seems to have helped the situation, or at least stopped it from getting worse.
Fast forward to now. The old laptop is now my personal machine, and I have a new MacBook as my work machine. I use the trackball as the mouse for the new machine because, even though the new machine has a much gentler trackpad, it's still an integrated trackpad and therefore ergonomically crummy.
So what to use as a mouse for the old machine? A new Apple Magic Mouse. We'll see if I can make the RSI go away.
And on a completely different note, my I Saw U ad for Megan from 80th is now in the print edition of the Stranger. I hung out & read in the Green Lake Chocolati this morning - same time & day of the week as when we met - but no joy so far. I am as yet undaunted.
