 Hi all,

I was reminded recently that I have not sent out an update reminder to
the lists and newsgroups the TIFAQ intends to serve.

The <http://www-engr.sjsu.edu/~svei/tifaq/> site has been updated and
the princeton.edu site will be updated later this week.

The TIFAQ has become too large and spread out to post it in its
entirety, so I'm limiting my postings to the HomePage which provides the
URLs, brief description, and recent changes made to the TIFAQ Website.

Regards,

Scott

Typing Injury FAQ

Standard disclaimers apply

*******************************************

This is the home page for the Typing Injury FAQ (frequently asked
questions) and Typing Injury Archive, sources of information for people
with typing injuries, repetitive stress injuries, carpal tunnel
syndrome, etc..

The TIFAQ is targeted at computer users suffering at the hands of their
equipment. You'll find pointers to resources all across the net, general
information on injuries, and detailed information on numerous adaptive
products. Reading and clicking below will lead you to all kinds of
documents and resources.

Due to the increasing number of information sources and products, the
typing-injury archive and FAQ can never be as complete as I'd like. If
you'd like to submit something, please send me mail, and I'll gladly
receive
it.
