Launchers for Mac OS X

Stop what you're doing, right now, and lift your hand away from your mouse or touchpad. Flex your fingers. Twist your wrist muscles.

Feels kind of tight in that area doesn't it? If not, you must be one of the lucky few computer users who has a sensible approach to mouse use. Reaching for the mouse, and dragging it around a desk all day, means plenty of strain for your arm and hand. It all adds up.

Now, if you're one of the people who does have an odd tight sensation in your arm, or (let's hope not), actual pain, it's time you gave some serious thought to how you use your computer.

Keeping your fingers on the keyboard for as long as possible is a good policy to stick to. Thankfully, many programs are jam-packed with shortcut commands which, if you take the time to learn them, will save you a lot of mousing around.

Thanks for the link! Pretty timely.

Getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is something that I'm really worried about, what with the amount of time I spend in front of my computer each and every day.

So what do you guys use?
I'm currently tinkering with Quicksilver but I find it kind of lacking in terms of moving files from one place to another and that there're times that it cannot find the app I'm looking for at all.
