Title: teen develops hand-arm vibration syndrome
Post by: Sandman on February 04, 2002, 09:26:16 AM: Warning: All shook up over game controllers (http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/zd/20020201/tc/warning_all_shook_up_over_game_controllers_1.html)

Ah... the perils of being a teen. Can't play with the video games without fear damaging their hands. Can't do "that other thing" without fear of going blind.

It's a tough life, ain't it?

:D

Need to do something to shake the lard off our youth ...

Of course, there are some AH'ers who turn in those kind of numbers :) Perhaps HiTech and Pyro should cover their tulips and add a disclaimer: Lack of a real life can be hazardous to your health.

I'd be there with you if my connect didn't blow lately. Of course, since I just got Ghost Recon real life will have to be patient :)
