When it first happened, I did look it up and it seems there are lots of different types. Mine seems to result in a knobbly joint on one finger that does not hurt, and normal looking joints on another that does hurt. I have seen the quack, and had a blood test, and then was basically told, "Welcome to old age". On the plus side, I have spoken to my boss, and he has said go and order whatever I need and offered to send me to an occupational health specialist. I found an old Logitech Marble mouse that I used to use at home. I will give that a trial at work, and if successful will buy a new trackball type device for work. I won't buy another Marble in case I want to use this one at home, and it would be better not to have the same. If the trackball does not work, then I will get a graphics tablet with stylus, as holding a pen is no problem, at the moment. :-) -- Philip Stubbs -- Please post to: [email protected] Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
