I'm not so sure about this.  A mouse is nice, true, but it takes time to get
your hands from the keyboard to the mouse and back again (especially back
again, since you have to reposition them, e.g. if you're a touch typist).

Until we have better/more integrated keyboard/mouse input devices (e.g. on
one of the PC shows I saw a keyboard split in two, with each half acting as a
mouse by you just moving it around with [roughly] the palm of your hand), I
think the keyboard will remain very valuable.  For example, (one of the reasons
:-) I don't like Netscape is that it doesn't have easy keyboard shortcuts.

What do people (especially Plan9 ones :-) think?
