RobL Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) I'm a "geek" "techy" [insert noun here] person but even to me this seems like another tech "solution" looking for a problem. Just so many of them these days. Edited May 20, 2021 by RobL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interesting thing (expanded on in other articles) is how quickly use of the extra thumb became automatic as the brain adapts to using it. Extrapolating forward, perhaps that 3rd hand which modellers are always saying they need is perhaps not that far off Cheers Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
