Hello Jonathan. I'd like to agree with you about the repositioning of how you might put your fingers. Only because, earlier, myfingers began to ache and I am worried that one might get RSI. I don't want to be sceptical, but, we need our hands as for us all, our hands are important to us due to our inability to see.
