RE: [repetitivestrain] Anyone have experience with carpal tunnel surgery??

I am sorry I can't relate to your CTS surgery problems as I have not had that done.  Have you considered using speech recognition software?  They seem to work fairly well, and with the amount of time you spend writing, the software may help you significantly.  I use IBM's ViaVoice, and it is not all that much money!

To make matters even worse, I'm a writer -- and I'm on this computer
