I have a laptop at work with Windows 95 and the "knitting needle
pointing device" to move the cursor.  It is awkward for any user let
alone a stiff fingered shaky pwp.  I soon learned Control-Escape is
the equivalent of clicking on the Start button.  As Kees said there
are alternatives to the mouse.  (the pointing device is a bad one)

I use a keyboard friendly browser instead of Netscape or Internet
Explorer.  The browser I use is Opera and it runs rings around the
other 2 when it comes to certain features like Full Keyboard
Navigation and Zooming.   It also runs well on even a 386SX with
8 megs of Ram!

You can download a free 30 day evaluation copy at:

http://www.operasoftware.com

A registered copy is $35 US and is a bargain in my book.

You can check the features at:

And the Keyboard Navigation at:

I am in no way connected to the Opera people, just a very satisfied
user.  (And Pegasus E-Mail client which is also free.)

I have a 386 which I loan to members of our support group to "get
their feet webbed" on surfing.  No one dislikes Opera.  When their
friends and relatives see it running on a 386 they want it too.

The best of health to you all.......Murray 53/4
