Subj: [kl] difficulty with the Kooiman thumb rest
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2001 05:12:30 -0400

Am I the only one who is underwhelmed by the Kooiman? I bought and
installed one, and I cannot seem to adjust it to fit my hand. If one
thinks of it as a V on its head, the right leg of that upside-down V is
too short (for me, anyway). No matter how I adjust the thing, I cannot
set it up so that this right leg will reach my hand without my having to
twist my hand in a manner I find odd. I wish this weren't so, but so far
I haven't been able to surmount this problem. The structure and
engineering seem really first-class, but I haven't yet found a way to
make it work for me.

Anyone else had a problem of this type? I have followed postings on this
subject fairly closely, but no one seems to have mentioned this.

Bye for now,
Anna
