Anyone else have problems after switching to a NeXT. I, too, had some
difficulty after switching to the NeXTStation, although not as severe
as this post. In my case it only affected my mouse (right) hand. I
suspect it had to do with dragging the wrist along the mouse pad, putting
slight but steady pressure on the "jellyware" therein. I was able to
alleviate the problem significantly by getting a foam wrist pad, but
placing it lengthwise under my right elbow and forearm rather than across
the width of the keyboard.

Not trying to raise an alarm about this, but I wonder, has anyone
had better (or worse) luck with the new mouse?
