From Ed Catmur
I couldn’t help but let out a groan of dismay at Feedback running yet another story perpetuating the myth that it is impossible to control a computer other than by means of that fiddly, slow, hopelessly limited and ill-conceived piece of equipment that is the computer mouse (10 August).
Attached to most computers is a highly sophisticated, information-rich item of technology, which, despite its resemblance to a typewriter, can do far more than just enter text. Indeed, by use of the Tab, Return, Space, Control, Enter and other keys, you can respond to any prompt with far greater speed than by hauling an unaesthetic pointer across the screen to a small, poorly placed button. What’s more, you’ll avoid repetitive strain injury.
