Groan, someone has to write this you know (me) and I don't even have all three types of mouse, to test it on. Not only that I am supposed to be writing an interpreter tool kit for the University (instead of reading the news :-) and I did want to build a home brew system over the summer (southern hemisphere) break. Not a chance of me getting half that lot done, let alone writing windowing stuff as well.
