   If I took off my shoes my office-mate would beat me :-)

   Besides, who has enough toe-dexterity to double-click?

   Something I recently found out: on my VAXstation I can use

   CTRL/SHIFT/arrow to move the mouse and CTRL/SHIFT/SELECT to click,

   not the handiest key-sequence but it is real nice when you want
   to move something exactly horizontally or vertically.
