Yee-uch! As a former human factors researcher, I heap scorn upon the monstrosities that M$ have produced. This ties in with the kitchen sink approach to interface design they adopt for office applications "Oh, look there is a bit of free space, lets fill it with more obscure icons for functions no-one uses" Interestingly enough, this precise argument has gone on in Microsoft for some time between their many usability and Human Factors people and Marketing ... Guess who usually gets the final say :-( However back to my current occupation ;-) ... As someone who uses PS a lot I can appreciate the fine control offered for some operations using a pen -BUT- I also use a mouse most of the time! As with most things like this it does well to try many different tools and see which suits your own preferences. (Spits on floor at thought of M$ behemoths being pushed around the desk ;-) bye for now Keith Cooper =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
