I'm flabbergasted at the opposition the mere reporting of a fact has 
generating.

So do I. I use the keyboard far more than I use the mouse. But I'm 
not threatened by the conclusions of the Apple and Microsoft studies, 
so I don't feel much need to point out that I'm not one of the people 
the results describe.

What puzzles me is why others have such a short fuse when it is 
merely pointed out that studies have shown that most people are 
faster with the mouse.
