Not to nitpick, but the answer to your posit is addressed in the site's FAQ. As they pointed out, a touchpad mouse simply follows the midline point of presure applied to it. What makes they're product neat (worth $179 I am not sure about... I'll get back to you on that after I give it a try) is that it actually monitors your entire hand's location in relation to the pad. This allows the pad to use specific motions to control repetitive events (such as saving files, opening files, scrolling, they even have a pre-defined emacs motion set)
This product is not intended to be 'just another kind of mouse/keyboard' but an entirely new type of computer interfacing.
"The Stars My Destination" (Alfred Bester) was first published in 1948 I think. It kicks, conquers, and rules more butt in one chapter than most authors do in a lifetime.
Dang this auto-logon, anyway: I am not soupboy, I am "Leg-Humpin' Gwee-Dog".
Bush is not domain sitting, domain sitting is when you buy up a bunch of domains with the intent to sell them to the people who would accually want those domains.. like buying ibm.com anyhow, if your refering to the guy who the story says wants 300,000 (?? didn't go back and reread figure could be wrong..) then I appologize and ignore me..
