[snip] > why hasten it? Won't happen if it didn't in the past 15 yrs. If you keep the button near threshold you don't need much finger movement, just the last bit of activation energy.

It required double-clicking on an icon to activate it.) Guy PS: I leave this thread. You can still mail me privately if you want...
