Would it be difficult for *somebody* to write some code that would let you
set the mouse tracking speed much higher than it is now? Even at the "fastest"
setting under 6.0.2, it still takes 3 inches of mouse movement to move the
cursor completely across the screen. Yes sir, I KNOW the cursor will 
"accelerate" if you move the mouse faster, but the problem with this is that
you lose *control*. You can't "jerk" the mouse around like that with any
kind of precision. Having used a Mac almost daily for nearly 5 years, I feel
that I could comfortably adapt to a cursor that would cross the screen with
say, 1/2 to 3/4 inch of mouse movement *without* jerking. The current 2 to 3
inches required is way, way too slow. Anybody interested? Can you hear
me, Apple?   (drops to knees, begs....)   (-8
