I also use to suffer arm / wrist pains when using a mouse, I found by swapping to a track ball the problem was solved. Have you tried one?

At least, If the goverment is tracking my car, I'll been the end of speed cameras as they will know when your speeding away!

I'll never be able to overtake again!

On the plus side they will also be able to tell me where to find the burnt out hulk of my car if it's stolen.

If you don't mind calling a DLL then RM Chart at http://www.rmchart.com is worth a look. I've played with it in Visual Basic and it can produce some very nice results.
