That's what I meant before - the concept of "clickable" is represented by an arrow in windows NOT a hand. Mouse over anything on your screen (outside the browser) that is clickable & you will get an arrow cursor - not a hand. I'm not saying I disagree with you - if I ran the world every clickable item would have a hand cursor, parking attendants would have to walk around in clown suits, ciggie butts would evaporate when you finish your smoke and well we probably should not go too far down this path..... But you get what I mean. In the real world arrow (<cough>windows</cough>) hand does not mean clickable.
