Markus, I'm no fan of the mouse either, as other mailing list members
could tell you, but like Rodolfo, I find Plan 9's mouse use better
than that of any other OS I've used.

The system *is* pretty slick, and when I'm doing some stuff, I'm
really glad it's the way it is. Of course, I still want keyboard
shortcuts (so does everybody else, they just don't know it yet), but
as I said, it's pretty good the way it is.

Like I've said before, if only I had one of those chording keyboard
things from Xerox's Alto, I could rock with the mouse in one hand and
the other hand on the keyboard.

Looking forward to flames

John
