Two Cursors Better Than One?
I usually use my PowerBook G4 with an USB mouse and the built-in trackpad, switching between one and the other. I just noticed today that I sometimes have my right hand on the mouse, but move the cursor with my left hand on the trackpad. My right hand still expects the cursor to be where the mouse left it.
I wonder how hard it would be to support two independent cursors when there is more than one input device? That, unfortunately, is not in my area of programming, so I'm not sure how hard that would be to hack. I'm guessing we won't see that from Apple, since it still sticks to a "no-button" mouse. Of course, I'm happily using said mouse right now. I find that scroll-wheels and extra buttons just aggravate my carpal-tunnel.

Bio Update
My wife just pointed out to me that I wrote a bio when I started this that should be updated. I guess I should re-read my own posts when I wait that long between posts. So, we were married in November, and have been very happy together, despite bouts with strep throat and the flu. We're both fairly healthy again, and thus our employers have been having us make up for lost productivity, or so it seems. :-)
Anyway, we live in NJ, near Philadelphia, in a nice house with a dog and a cat. Maybe I'll post a few pictures at some point.
