When they do they mandatory customer surveys (to come up with ideas like "what people want from their desktop PC is t he ability to touch all over like crazy) I wonder WHO they interview. I maybe a power user, but every time I have to reach for the mouse interrupting my workflow on the keyboard (like when programming or writing) I treat it like a failure in my setup. When I'm working on something other (music editing software, Photoshop), I tent to use a pen tablet because the mouse is not accurate enough (but certainly more accurate that my finger).

OT: Grr, paywall... Is there some kind of HN policy about this?
