Of Mice and Men

Slightly off topic, but this might be of interest to older Gen developers. The Gen toolset is very 'mouse intensive' and much work needs to be done with the mouse rather than the keyboard. After 20 years of this, some of us older Gen developers are starting to feel the strain (literally), with RSI type irritations.

I found that changing to a different type of mouse was very helpful, and after trying a few out, now use a Vertical Mouse (see http://www.evoluent.com/). You may prefer a different style of mouse, and perhaps the main benefit is to change to something different?
