Apple iMac G3 (Original) - Manual (Page 25)

Important Don’t lift the computer using the flip-out foot. You could
damage your computer. To move your computer, grab the handle on
the top of the computer with one hand; with your other hand, hold
the bottom of the computer.
Avoiding fatigue
m Change your seated position, stand up, or stretch whenever you
start to feel tired. Frequent short breaks are helpful in reducing
fatigue.
m Use a light touch when typing or using a mouse and keep your
hands and fingers relaxed.
m Some computer users may develop discomfort in their hands,
wrists, or arms after periods of intensive work without breaks.
If you begin to develop chronic pain or discomfort in your hands,
wrists, or arms, consult a qualified health specialist immediately.
m Allow adequate workspace so that you can use your keyboard and
mouse comfortably. Place papers or other items so you can view
them easily while using your computer. A document stand may
make reading papers more comfortable.
m Eye muscles must work harder to focus on nearby objects.
Occasionally focus your eyes on a distant object, and blink often
while you work.
m Clean your screen regularly. Keeping the screen clean helps reduce
unwanted reflections (see page 27).
