You'll learn that different folks learn & think in vastly different ways.
For example, I'm not a kinesthetic learner, so I don't have this "muscle
memory" thing that user interface people talk about. I personally find it
impossible to understand anyone who would use the keyboard for something
they could use the mouse for. For me it is just FAR quicker to use the
mouse for almost anything. After all, you have to take your hands from
their typing positions to do a command key combo anyway, especially on a Duo
(... at the mention of which, I manage to keep this discussion 'on topic',
barely...), so why not just move your hand a slight bit more and use the
mouse.
