[sci.med] ?: touch sensitive keyboards? for pain-filled hands

tower@bu-cs.BU.EDU (Leonard H. Tower Jr.) (02/21/89)

A friend who programs mainly on a Sun 3/60 has been having a growing
amount of pain in his hands from pushing the keys down.  It's worse
the more keys he presses at once (and he's a power emacs user).  He
has the problem with many keyboards, though the Sun 3/60 is his main
machine.

He is looking for a touch sensitive `no pressure' keyboard (or a very
low pressure keyboard) that is Sun compatible.  (Note: he's been
seeking medical help as well.)

Pointers to manufacturers, reps in the Boston area, other forums or
organizations to ask, etc. all welcomed.  Does Sun have a special
peripherals or handicap department?

Followups have been redirected to comp.terminals.

Please mail me replies.  I will summarize to comp.terminals, if there
is enough interest expressed by e-mail.
