You make it seem like such a hassle. Look at it this way. When
I'm editing text and I delete stuff as I move along and delete blocks as
well, I use the keyboard alone. If I wish to do a series of copy and
pasting, move text blocks to other areas, I reach for the mouse *once*
and do the series of text block manipulations in sequence (using mouse
and keyboard) faster than if I were to use the keyboard alone.

LOL! I know how to 'walk'.
I enjoyed that exchange but the long and short of my
interjection anyway is that it's all a matter of taste Steve. Don't
scoff too much at other peoples preferences and what input devices they
prefer to use in a particular situation. I prefer a standard shift car.
Others think I'm backward and like unnecessary tedium. <shrug> That's
them.
