The Mouse is on my desk and my arm sometimes aches when using it a long
time.

I'm wondering if anyone makes a Clipboard with a Leg Clamp attached to it?
Long a friend of mine, Bruce WA4DYL worked CW /M while driving his car

 EV>The BandAid graphic is 5 $DB's (219), 5 $B0's (176) and 5 $DB's (219).

 HG> If the character (sign) # is called BandAid I see them.

# isn't the character either of the ALT Characters shows here when I

Nope, just Period characters.
