The Mouse is on my desk and my arm sometimes aches when using it a long
time.

I'm wondering if anyone makes a Clipboard with a Leg Clamp attached to it?
Long a friend of mine, Bruce WA4DYL worked CW /M while driving his car
using a J-38 clipped to his leg.

 HG> If the character (sign) # is called BandAid I see them.

# isn't the character either of the ALT Characters shows here when I
added the Tagline or tried typing them in a message.

 EV> When I type Alt 176 here, I see a Dotted Block Character.

Nope, just Period characters.
