:-)

But keep in mind that some people (like me) cannot safely use a
three-button chording mouse.  And of course people with serious hand
disabilities cannot use more than one mouse button at all.

My hand and wrist tendonitis is mostly under control these days, but
Plan 9 (if I am anything less than scrupulously careful) can bring it
back; the only mouse clicks that are safe for me are the ones made
with two fingers. :-(
