A wireless mouse and keyboard is the most ergonomic combination until we are all microchipped with mindreading technology....

My last pad had bobbles on it which helped.

Park laptop on left leg - open legs and put wireless mouse on right leg - wear appropriate trousers (obviously, cotton or synthetic). Jobs as goodun and no moisture needed. It's what I do, but because I am a shorty I have to have a bean pouffe to raise my legs on (and no I am not talking about my old man).

Re: A true story about my middle finger

Unless you are very unlucky you have two hands, eight fingers and two thumbs. Give them a turn each.

I shall give that a go Oldbod. I might have to tie my middle finger back because it tends to do most of the work.
