RSI

First, to everybody out there: once you get RSI, the first thing you learn is the best way to get rid of it is to not get it in the first place . Follow proper typing practices (good posture, hands more or less at a right angle, get an ergonomic keyboard and mouse now). Some people go so far as to say that once you have RSI all you can do is manage it, not cure it, and while I'm not sure of that, preventing it is definitely the best idea.
