I had VERY bad RSI and had tried everything under the sun. Moving the the Kinesis stopped it dead. No more typing pain. Warning: it does take a bit to get used to.
Re:Switching from Gmail to FastMail on Friday July 19, 2013 @05:16PM (#6073016)
I did the same thing, also about a month ago. The latest gmail ui updates were bugging me. Now I have all my accounts forwarding to my fastmail account - works great.
