FreeBSD seems to be easier to type with. Like many people, I get sore wrists whenever I type too much. Most days, no problem, but other days... I use a variety of Unix's at work. I also install and play with different operating systems at home pretty often. I seem to see an effect where something about using FreeBSD lessens the wear and tear on the wrists. I see this effect mostly from using FreeBSD at the console, less from X. I just find FreeBSD easier on the hands than Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, or Windows -- even when using the same keyboard and hardware. This is a wildly unscientific observation, but is there anything that might account for this? FreeBSD makes the user happier = less tension = better typing technique? FreeBSD pops characters onto the screen faster = lighter typing touch? Secret FreeBSD daemons flow out of the computer to massage the wrists of user? Placebo effect or not, I'm going to try to do anything that involves a large volume of typing on FreeBSD from here on out. Did anybody else ever notice anything like this? steve fuqua To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
