On the few occasions I have been in contact with Japanese engineers (who were installing Jeol Electron Microscopes) I noticed that they (3 of them) all had small hands. They were actually quite small people now I come to think about it. Perhaps they don't have trouble with the card? Some folk have fingers like pork sausages and while they are excellent for some purposes they don't get into small places too easily. Please no ribaldry today. Maybe this is an East/West thing? Now someone will bring up Sumo wrestlers I suppose.
