Nah, I'm good.

I think that this is the first time this situation has happened and there
are enough kind people here who will help me out if it happens again.

Better that than being tempted to reply to the resident moron.

Ahhh, slouching! I remeber it fondly.

As I have to sit upright I find that resting my elbow on the chair arm and
my wrist on the desk with the mouse settings at 'fast' works just fine for
me. I never have to move the 'heel' of my hand from the one spot and under
an inch of hand movement covers the 1400 pixels from one side of the screen
to the other.

Well it certainly looks like an interesting product, albeit it is still vapour ware.

Yeah I am still here, looking at the group and seeing it is still a waste of space with the contributors continuing the same as always. Same old people, same old ****, same old prejudices YAWN.
