My wife is a physical therapist and she is convinced that is the
problem, and her physician is in agreement. And X-rays support the
conclusions that both have arrived at.
Having said that, she is using an old microtek 815C, which she
really likes, but it has the old-style, square configuration
(rather than wide-screen). I've a wide-screen LG which sits a lot
lower, has more 'real estate' and I think that if she changes to
something like my LG, she would be better off. If we can't find
such a cradle, we will just swap for a lower profile wide-screen
monitor. I'm sure that will be an acceptable solution for her.
thanks
