"Crippling disorder linked to PalmPilot"

Here's a spooky article in a technology parallel to wearables.
Extra-spooky for me 'cause this is something I started experiencing after
extensive use of my Newton:

My left hand still hasn't recovered (for writing with "regular" pens and
pencils) and I stopped using it months ago.  It's not as though my
musculature isn't flexible enough; I've been playing music since I was six.
 My principal instrument is viola, which makes extensive use of my left
hand, and my playing doesn't seem to have been affected in any way; it's
not like tendonitis, which completely incapacitates your arm.

Very strange, and worth watching for in any new interface device.

Andrew.
