Exactly, hence my comment about lack of imagination and illusions to
parallel ports. Whenever somebody innovates we see a swell of nay
sayers who can't imagine that anything could be done differently than
it is being done currently. And around here great umbrage that
blinders are being disturbed.
Did anyone notice that most drawing programs are operated using a
mouse and that moving a mouse requires the use of one's entire arm,
including a whole bunch of fingers. Both mouse and arm are
considerably larger than a finger. Yet it works fine.
I expect that the iPad will bring an explosion of innovation in user
interfaces. This is going to make the next few years especially
difficult for M$.
