P a s s i o n a t e a b o u t p a i n r e l i e f ? C o n t o u r D e s i g n s e e k s s t o r i e s f r o m s a t i s f i e d u s e r s Windham, N.H. (April 15, 2003) Computer users passionate about their pain-free experience using ergonomically designed mousing products from Contour Design can now share their experiences with the Perfit Mouse and/or RollerMouse and win the chance to receive a $500 shopping spree and 15 minutes of fame if they visit the company Web site before Monday, April 21, 2003. Users of the Perfit or RollerMouse are asked to answer questions via the company Web site (www.contourdesign.com/feedback) about how using an ergonomically designed mouse such as the Perfit or RollerMouse is enabling them to have less pain and increased productivity. Ten users will then be selected to offer their testimonial in a brief telephone interview as well as a chance to claim the $500 prize on the Contour Design Web site. "We are seeking user testimonial to include in a corporate project as well as to help others understand the benefits of using an ergonomically designed product," says James Golden, CAE, Associate Ergonomist, Contour Design. "Many computer users have pain in their fingers, wrist or arm and don't realize that there is a product that can help relieve their pain and give them a better overall computing experience. By having our customers talk about their experiences, we hope to highlight the growing population of users experiencing computer-related stresses as well as offer a solution for users in a similar situation." Site visitors must complete the questionnaire by midnight April 18, 2003 to be eligible for entry. Finalists selected from the online questionnaire entries will be asked to offer their testimonial via telephone on Tuesday, April 22 and Wednesday, April 23. All phone calls will be recorded for possible inclusion in a corporate video about the company's ergonomically designed products. A panel of Contour Design executives will vote to select the most compelling testimonial for the Perfit or RollerMouse products. The $500 shopping spree prize will be awarded after the release of the video on June 15th.

Any other "one size fits all" mouse simply can't achieve the performance and ergonomic benefits delivered by this multi-sized solution. The Perfit Mouse is available in five sizes ranging from extra-small to extra-large and is available for many different platforms. For more information, visit http://www.contourdesign.com/perfit.htm. A b o u t R o l l e r M o u s e The RollerMouse station is the first of its kind, roller bar mouse that is ergonomically designed, keeping user's hands in the optimal position for comfort and increased productivity. Recognized by Call Center Magazine as a 2002 product of the year, the RollerMouse places cursor control beneath the space bar so the fingers or thumbs from either hand can be used to slide, roll, and click the revolving shaft.
