ya, i shouldnt have said that. sorry. indyboy even took the
opportunity in his article to bend my words:
Still, the mouse has some place in Ratpoison, if only to work
within the applications that need it, Yeske explained, such as
The GIMP.
btw, the linuxplanet article is at
http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/opinions/3215/1/
in my defense though, i *do* think that using a mouse in the gimp is
useful for a lot of people (ie, nonhackers/script-fu writers and
non-professional artists that dont want to spend X dollars on an
expensive tablet).

now...
