            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I suppose that's true.  The mouse is no good for random input totally un-
connected to screen displays--after all, you can only use one hand and
one finger, not two hands and ten fingers :-).

On another note, I wonder why they went to the trouble of faking a
display?  Was it an aesthetic, technical, or (shudder) licensing
problem?
