they tried to make me use MS Word the other day, and exactly that
feature made me refuse and delete it. does anyone know why they did
that? i can see the point of hiding the pointer while you're typing:
sometimes it's a pain to be typing under the pointer and not really
being able to see what you've typed (that's always my excuse for typos
;-) but why on Earth would anyone want to hide the pointer in two-thirds
of their screen area? ridiculous!
