I have recently acquired a 24" screen and I must say things are not so
simple. Fitt's law works for "small" screens, but not for big ones. Of
course you could have a big acceleration factor to be able to cross the
screen in one hand movement, but then you can't use your mouse anymore
to draw something with the Gimp (and big screen users are often
graphists).
