Right, that's why I enter text to my computer using a visual pen that I move with the mouse. The problem is it's a bad interface for the tools you have availble on the computer: keyboard, mouse, screen. Making a set of rich input metaphors that do work well with keyboards, mice and screens isn't easy, and isn't really solved. But that's not an excuse for refusing to try. -josh
