I just logged on to ask "What about feets for the mouse .. or kness?"  I
thought of this when I was sewing and realized that I couldn't use a sewing
machine unless I had feet. Two hands are not enough.

I realize it sounds like Rube Goldberg but I could probably deal with a foot
track ball and a knee cap button. When I was young my Grandmother taught me to
sew on an old iron peddle sewing machine.

The auto history posting was interesting -- I'm glad Apple never patented the
wheel first.
