Article: [senit] Re: front end for stand alone PC

While I believe that everybody who is able to use a mouse should be 
encouraged to do so, I wonder if he would be better off using a switch at 
home to preserve the home computer while he develops his mouse skills at 
school where he could learn not to click everything in sight.
