keyboard navigation is possible for *every* aspect of Windows. I *never*
use the mouse. I think Windows is the only major GUI that allows this.
Also, I think TK is a bit slower. I ran some of the demos on my PII-333
and there was a noticeable delay as checkboxes got checked and unchecked.
Mind you, it would be nice to be able to write a Win32::GUI app and then be
able to automatically convert it to use TK in order to make the
cross-platform version. While I'm at it, I'd like a pony...:)
