I've been working on a 12" ibook for years without problems, but switching to a bigger T60 caused me aching wrists. Now with an external keyboard everything is fine again.

I used to (and still have some) RSI in my arms. I have had physiotherapist appointments once a week. I bought a trackball and a curved keyboard. And I installed a timer called workrave in my computer. A timer is great only if it does not ask you to take a break during deep thinking....
