Though not very practical, in practice, I've found. It adds delays to things, delays that are worse than useless for anyone who's a fast worker. I want things to work instantly, not to have do something, wait, then carry on with the next thing. And it doesn't help you, at all, for those times in which the touchpad thinks you're using it, when your hands are somewhat near it, but you're not actually doing anything. By the time you reach for a key to type, the touchpad can have plonked the cursor on some random part of the screen. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
