Story I heard was the old typewriter didn't cause CTS as you had to take 
your hands off the keyboard to do a CR etc.  It's the continuous pounding 
without removing the hands from the keyboard that triggers CTS per the 
reports - but who really knows for sure?

I have a tough time blaming the mouse?  Jeeze, you move it around once in a 
while at best - even surfing you don't do that many clicks?

And why both tunnels if the mouse is the culprit?   If the right hand had 
more cases of it then they may have something since most are right handed.
