[OKGIS] Digitizer

[Aaron Champion]

Cindy:

I'm not sure if you're referring to a tablet input device to be used
in the process of digitizing or an actual digitizer table (with the
puck), but anything that can get the wrist turned to a natural angle
(i.e. like you're shaking hands) will relieve pressure on the median
nerve.  The tablet pen, when held properly, will do just this.
Trackballs that orient the hand in the natural position also relieve
pressure, although I find it much more intuitive to use a tablet.
