I suppose you use one of those ratty things to access it? What about that funny 3d thingy along the left of the screen with the little arro shape things at each end and the floaty blocky thingy which moves up and down and gets smaller and smaller the more I write? I suppose you use the ratty thing for that as well. And while I'm on the topic, who was the bright spark who introduced a third hand controlled device for the computer? I'm mean really, was he some sort of mutant with three arms or something? I've got two perfectly good feet which do nothing but sit under the desk all day. I'd much prefer to be kicking some cat around under my desk to access menus and other pointless GUI widgets than constantly moving from one control to another with my hand on a rat!
