See, the future is happening :)

It seems strange to refer to being old fashioned in connection with preferring a device that is a relatively recent development. When it came along it was a new way of interfacing with the computer and took a while to learn properly. I see older (and younger) members of my family still struggling to use it as it feels unnatural - a fixed trackball would probably be an easier system than a mouse for them.

But touch is more natural still. For some tasks. Browsing, flicking through photos, exploring maps - these are great using touch. I couldn't do my job entirely without a mouse although for the most part I prefer shortcut keys. The mouse for me tends to slow me down. I'd be lost without ctrl+tab, alt+tab and all the other, learned functions of life in front of a computer.

From everything I have read, the iPad still has a way to go in developing its keyboard functionality to enable us to fully let go of the mouse.

Or maybe someone has developed a mouse app :)
