I've been suffering hard from RSI in 2004, so I was unable even
to
hold a pencil. I've dropped using computers totally, started injecting
bee's poison into wrists and elbows keep them warm. It took me
6 month to recover. After this I bought kinesis keyboard, switched to
dvorak and throw away the mouse. Now my workplace looks like this -

That looks cool, I have a thinkpad X60, whose keyboard is excellent but
conventional.
Since then I forgot about RSI totally
About XEmacs. I've started using it in 1998 and after 6 years
of
everyday use i've got used to the binding and it was quite hard to
switch to new layout in XEmacs. However, productivity started raising
in about 2 weeks or so.
2 weeks, ok this sounds doable. I had pain in my left forefinger till I
threw the mouse away. Now my ringfingers start to ache.
Using another machine with qwerty is not a problem, unless you have
to do some development there (in that case i recommend to switch
the keyboard layout). If you've been touchtyping in qwerty, you
will touchtype in both qwerty and dvorak after switching.
Thanks! That sounds encouraging most likely I will wait till my teaching
obligations have finished and will give it a try then.
