Rob's addition to our technology vernacular

First, he helps put ASP.NET on the map. Now, Rob “invents” a term for a common computer malady…let’s give the man some Google juice. J

I've been working a lot lately on my laptop and I use the built-in eraser head mouse pointer; I just cannot stand the touchpad. After too many days my right-index finger will begin to ache -- as it's doing now -- from overuse. So I thought I'd look this condition up and when I didn't find one I decided to invent my own 'condition':

mousepointeritis (mouspointritis) a condition caused by repetitive use of an eraser-head mouse pointer as commonly found on laptops.

The sad part about this is rather putting my laptop down I just switch to a different finger for the mousepointer/eraserhead!
