Subject: bruises on hands

Hello,
I have started working in a new place, computer work. They all use portable
PC's - normally IBM Thinkpads. Sometimes attached to a normal screen, some
have a normal keyboard attached, but most just use them as they are (as I
do, I find the keyboard ok). I suspect that the hard-drive (as well as the
CD-player) sit in the close to the body-part, where you rest your hands.
The person I work for is very nice, very energetic, the life and soul of
the department (marketing),  in her mid-late thirties. She works a lot,
will sit late, come in at week-ends when there is things to be done, there
has been a period like that during the last several weeks. Today she came
in and showed me her fingers, there were bruises all over, one was
definitely swollen and hard. She hadn't in any way hurt herself, they had
just come. Her skin has a yellow tint to it generally.

Anybody heard of, or experienced the same symptoms? Am I correct in
associating them with using these computers?

with warm greetings,
Ingrid High
