There are various things that one does with a computer that are just about all graphical (e.g. working with photos). Granted that there are better than mice drawing tools, but it's the default tool that many have, or maybe the only tool that they have.

Despite using all manner of computers for over thirty years, I do not remember many short cuts, certainly only a few of them. And many of them are so bizarre that you're highly unlikely to remember them. It gets worse when programmers change them between releases. And, quite frankly, having to use a plethora of keyboard bashing strokes instead of just mouse over and click, reminds me all too much of how hard it is to play Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Rather like CLI lovers saying how much better the keyboard is, and all the mental and finger gymnastics they have to do, to copy some files out of a directory, compared to drag-select with a mouse, drag one over and drop, to copy them. > Even using the mouse is not very stressfull. Bah, it is one of the crappest user interfaces ever designed, and causes even more repetitive strain injuries than bad keyboarding. About the only things going for it are its simplicity and intuitiveness. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
