The Amiga has one cursor per window, and a mouse pointer. It has its advantages
but when you move the mouse pointer from one window to another and click to 
activate it, you have to unfocus on the mouse pointer, and find the cursor
to that window. If you make it bright magenta or something, its possible
but a pain. If you forget this, you startt typing in staring at the mouse
pointer, and of course, the text isn't going where you think it should be.

On the other hand on the Apollo, when I  <-- to the start of a line and
go a bit *too* far, I'm out of the window into a new window or just an 
empty backdrop. 

I dunno, seems like 6 of 1, half dozen of the other.
