On And Off The Field (NAPSA}—Most parents wouldn’t think of sending a child ento a sports field without the right equipment. Yet many parents are willing to expose their child to an incemplete work station without the right equipment. One of the most important accessories your child should have is a gel wrist rest for the mouse and keyboard. Kids today will spend more years on the computer than their parents, so it is important they start out early with an ergonomically correct work area to make computer use healthier and more comfortable. SM’s patented Gel Wrist rests will support and conform to your child’s wrists and palms unlike any other type of wrist rest. The soft cushioning gel in the wrist rests encourages a neutral wrist position to reduce strain and improve comfort. The silky smooth surface is non-irritating and non-chafing. With the Internet and computer software, children are spending more time mousing. The 3M Precise mousing surface features patented micro-groove technology that improves the traction of your child’s mouse trackball at fast speeds.
