True! I try and help were I can. I got an ergonomic keyboard at home (MS 
Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000) and bought a special keyboard for work 
(Enermax Aurora) which makes typing effortless. The later is like a 
laptop keyboard but normal size - which I much prefer over standard 
desktop keyboards. I also switched +-3 years ago to Programmer Dvorak 
keyboard layout. This helped a lot! I rest often - which has the 
downside that I consume way to much coffee. :-) And I only work on LCD 
screens. So I try...

I'm clearly not alone this thought. Here is a website mentioning the 
same thing.

Here is his results:
============================
I have data for 12 days from Nov 9, 2006 to Nov 21st, 2006.

Average keystrokes per day – 41060

Average left clicks per day – 3250

Average right clicks per day – 490

So there, roughly 6.6 times more left clicks than right clicks, and 12.6 
more keystrokes than left clicks.

I have the exact plot here, but rather noisy I would say.

At the rate of 40000 keystrokes a day, for 300 days a year, for the next 
35 years, aah, makes it 420 million keystrokes.
============================


I think I will top those keystokes....  I'll google for an app tonight. :-)
