October Novel Prep Challenge

I just got my first laptop that isnt a hand-me-down. I ordered it online so I didn't get a chance to examine it before I got it. The space between the bottom of the computer and the keyboard is about the same length as my fingers from tip to bottom knuckles meaning the ones on my hand not my fingers.

When I type the bottom edge hits my arms about a half inch below my wrists. I haven't even used it that much yet but I am finding that using the wrists up method of typing is out of the question at this angle and distance. Its starting to make my arms and shoulders hurt. I am forming bruises where my arm rests on the edge. I bruise easy. I always have.

So my question is... Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so how did you fix it to make it more comfortable? I could just revert to using the voice activation software but it doesn't work so well. I'm not sure a month is enough to get it ready for Nano.
