Huh? In case you missed it, people complain mostly of RSI pain in the wrist
(and forearm) when working with computers, with which handwriting has
nothing to do.

The prediction here is that vertical touch surfaces will move the pain to
the shoulders. We'll know when Jonathan posts the video of his flailing arms
around Cruise-style in the privacy of his bedroom to YouTube for us all to
behold.
