[GreenKeys] Teletype key caps

[Richard Knoppow]

    This means something to me. I had surgery for carpal tunnel 
syndrome on one wrist a couple of months ago. Still healing but 
it fixed the problem. Not just pain but numbness in my whole 
hand. Right side is not as bad but will have that done in a 
couple of weeks. Surgery is fairly simple but not as much as 
sometimes claimed. Mine was done with sedation in the hospital 
OR. Did not stay at the hospital so I suppose its outpatient. I 
am saying this for those who may have the same problem and are 
reluctant to have the surgery. Mine was bad enough to wake me up 
at night. No more and my dexterity is a lot better. I am glad I 
had the surgery and sorry I waited as long as I did.
