I find it rather unlikely that someone would use a mouse in each hand for any real world non-hypothetical "because I can" sense. Come up with an actual *tangible* reason, and then it's something to discuss IMHO. Open source development isn't "all about devising and implementing useless features nobody will use for any useful purpose". >> I wonder if you are not making life more difficult than it >> needs to be. > >How?
