Oh, my gosh! You and I think and learn _very_ differently (not that that
is bad). I use keyboard shortcuts for _everything_, and it takes me _much_
longer to use the mouse than to use a keyboard shortcut. I can type and
use shortcuts at the same time without any trouble. I don't even look at
the keyboard. It boggles my mind that some people find a mouse to be
_preferable_ for anything. The keyboard is by far the best solution for
interface issues, and a drawing tablet is the only choice for painting and
drawing. A mouse is nothing but carpel-tunnel (sp?) waiting to happen.
Incidentally I find the trackball on the Duo 2xx to be more convienient
and comfortable than a normal mouse.
