I see so many engineers with hand exercisers next to their keyboards. Why not combine the two? I'm picturing a knob at the top of the keyboard that adjusts the pressure necessary to press a key. Start at 98lb weakling, work up to Ahnold!

Seeing as all you are exercising is your forearms I think you would be working your way up from Castor Oyl to Popeye. |

There could be a different exercise for each letter - e.g. the Enter key is a 20-lb dumbbell: lift it to type a carriage return. The caps lock is a hand grip; for an @ sign, hit the punching bag near the monitor. |

whew, OK a + for you, only if it's on my backspace key. |

I'm guessing you never used a typewriter, especially not to cut a mimeo stencil. |

Hand execercisers strengthen your grip, presumably for squash. What on earth would a stiff keyboard strengthen your fingers for - poking people? |
