Anyone else use the Dvorak keyboard layout? I've been using it for about a week and it's made a lot of my RSI issues go away. Not all of em, but enough where I'm investing in a hardwired one.
If you don't know what it is, check this out.
Also... Does anyone know if there is something more ergonomic than a mouse out there? Tablets look nice but those things are so expensive.

Theres a cheap tablet. Don't know of anything that could really replace a mouse though... in my opinion anyway. Writing with a tablet pen for the amount of time I spend on computers every day would hurt my hand more than using a mouse.
Look for a WACOM tablet. My fiancé got one for X-Mas, and its so freakin' nice.
I took the Dvorak plunge several months ago. I pried up all my keys and swapped them around so that now my keyboard is a Dvorak one. However, I didn't follow through with a practice regimen, so I always use QWERTY anyway. So basically now I have a keyboard on which nobody can hunt-and-peck. I'm probably going to switch it back one of these days.
Anyway, I do like Dvorak. It's really cool. If I could just stick to my studies of it and learn the damn thing, I'm sure it would be...somehow beneficial.
