According to the report: "The beta software, which is intended for
testing, runs only with Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 and higher; it
does not work with the 5-year-old Windows 95 desktop that first
integrated a browser as part of the operating system."

That means a whole lot of users including myself. I haven't been able
to migrate to '98 for some inane reason and know a whole lot of
places where 98 is *not* used in favour of 'more stable' (yea i know
ymmv) 95. Yikes!

Given the new browser war (read race) to not only support full W3C
recommendations (thanks go to WaSP no doubt) but add to them in the
proprietory legacy, Peter's initial assessment from the standpoint of
a web developer was required. Thanks for quelling some burning
questions about IE 6.

<tip type="rsi protection">
When using the keyboard, learn to relax your shoulders.

Don't rest your palms on the table but make them float above the
keyboard by about half an inch when typing. Let them down only when
you are resting.

The keyboard should be directly in front of the monitor and
your arms should make an obtuse angle at the elbows when typing.

Keep your feet firmly on the ground, flat.

Keep your back straight -- using support of the chair (hips back,
slightly leaning forward).

Your monitor's top edge should be in line with your straight vision.
In other words, while looking at the monitor, your eyes should not
travel upwards.

When using the mouse, don't move it with your fingers but with your
palm. Move the whole hand and not just with the flick of the wrist.
Train yourself to keep wrist movement zero while moving it around -
using the arm instead. Grip it firmly but not hard.

First tip. :P
