I don't heart the mouse.

The mouse is one of the best inventions....when it comes to browsing the internet and graphics use. But for all others, it's a terrible invention. I prefer accessing my database with a few keystrokes or less and have things instantly performed with a key press. It's hard to describe it. Why can't I just press a button to load my apps. Why do I have to select something, double click it and then select another set of buttons. I just want to press and go. Does anyone really like to use the computer based calculator application with a mouse? Painful or what?

Yes, I appreciate that when it comes to graphics and similar applications it can be a godsend, but for all others, it's horrendous. Can I not select files using the space bar and press a key to cut and paste it somewhere else? Do, I have to select some files while pressing a certain required button and then attempt to drag it to a particular folder, only to have to check to see if it's moved to the designated folder and not the one below or above it?

When I check my email, do I have to find the app by scrolling with the mouse, double click, and then double click on the check mail icon from the mountains of other icons and then click to the inbox and then take my hand off the mouse and place it on the keyboard to type? Certainly a few key strokes would do, right? Or performing account setups for each different email boxes, can I not just press the tab key or enter key to advance to the next field? Do I have to take my hand off the keyboard and use the mouse to advance to the next field? Yes, you can use the mouse to correct fields you feel you need to change, but can't they use those redundant cursor keys? Especially the ones labeled up and down?

It's no wonder that movies hardly ever show the mouse. Everything should be controlled by the keyboard.
