I use pointers more than keyboard as part of my job being a CAD monkey.
About 5 years ago I started getting RSI in my wrist, and purchased a Wacom tablet. I'm now on my third, a widescreen one to match the set-up I have with 2 widescreen LCD monitors, and would never go back to using a mouse most of the time.
The ability to move the pad about to change the way you hold the pen is fantastic, and my wrist has been fine ever since. It takes a while to get used to the pad having an absolute relationship to the screen, but it's worth it.
but why would Microsoft want to? Their money is selling software to the masses, and they know that those people who know how to run Linux effectively are more likely to be using FOSS office suites. For the masses it's Microsoft all the way.
We are in Rockingham County, and one half of the town gets coverage, the other does not.
It's worth the wait, I'm very pleased with it (although it does seem to loose it's DNS settings in the evening) and would be sad to see it go.
We've had FIOS at our place in Southern NH for about 2 months now with Verizon and it works great. I just hope that we keep the same speed and price we are getting now as I was getting used to 15Mb download speeds.
Had the same IP all this time which is a big relief as I had heard it was very dynamic. Hopefully this offloading will mean that they no longer block port 80.

The best line of the reply has to be "Not only am I unintimidated by litigation; I sometimes rather miss it."
