Ok, so I'm posting this because the title made my chuckle. Plus, if anyone is using this thing, maybe it will help them. Who knows.
Here I'd usually make a joke about Jobs getting double-fisted (oh wait I kinda did didn't I... hey I'm trying old habits die hard :P), but here ya go....
Double-Fisting the Apple's Trackpad to Alleviate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (http://www.wired.com/reviews/2010/10/apple-magic-trackpad/)
I’ve been testing Apple’s Magic Trackpad since shortly after its late July debut, and I love it. Or should I say: love them.
For the last two decades, I’ve been making my living as a writer. As consequence I’ve started to develop carpal tunnel syndrome. If you’ve never had the pleasure of experiencing CTS, let me break down how it feels: Imagine electrically charged barb wire coiled in your wrist, then ripped out through your fingertips. This can make typing a challenge.
Certain things help. Mostly this entails finding ways to reduce the amount of stress placed on my hands. When the multitouch Magic Trackpad emerged earlier this year, I thought using the 5.17-inch-by-5.12-inch device in conjunction with a Magic Mouse might help reduce pain in my hands. But then I thought: Why stop at one? Why not score two of these babies (one for each of my paws) and see if I could double the relief?

Forgot the link, it's there now. :D
